[Web4lib] How Do I Create An EBSCOhost Mobile Profile In EBSCOadmin?

[Gair Helfrich]

Thank you Gerry!  We just got a message from a local listserv about this feature and the request for me to set it up can't be far behind. Now if I can just remember the password to get into Ebscoadmin!

Thanks,
Gair
