We seem to have cleared the sign in hump. But my queries were consistently returning 0 results.

Hope this has been useful information! Thanks again.
The plugin makes queries to EBSCOhost for books and when results are returned it makes another query for each one to get that book's details. The software for this second query didn't take into account the non-standard port number used by your library. I am attaching another test release that should take care of this.

EBSCOhost collections are weighted heavily toward academic titles rather than popular ones. Results may be sparse compared with other providers, such as OverDrive. However, I would like to be made aware of any cases when a book known to be in an EBSCOhost collection is not found by the plugin.
