We learned recently that when users e-mail themselves records from Homer, URLs in those messages can get mangled due to the placement of line breaks. This happens most frequently with NetLibrary URLs.
For example:
http://ezproxy.lib.uconn.edu/login?url=http://www.netLibrar
y.com/urlapi.asp?action=summary&v=1&bookid=219246

The URL is complete, but only the first part is a hot link. Janice is looking for a fix, but for the time being, we’ve set EZproxy to display this message

Incomplete NetLibrary URL?
It looks like you've entered an incomplete URL:
http://ezproxy.lib.uconn.edu/login?url=http://netlibrar
Please check the URL and try again.
Or click here to connect to NetLibrary and search for your title.
