On June 9, the library will transition to the new EBSCOhost user interface (UI). All EBSCOhost databases, including CINHAL, APA PsycInfo, Medline via EBSCO and others will have this new UI. This update introduces several enhancements aimed at improving accessibility, usability and personalization.
Important Note on Custom Folders
Custom folders created in the previous EBSCOhost interface will not be carried over to the new UI. If you use custom folders move your content into default folders to ensure it transitions smoothly or create backups of any searches or results lists in custom folders.
Modern Software Platform
- The new EBSCOhost interface is built on a modern platform, designed to be user-friendly and responsive across all devices. This ensures a consistent experience whether you are using a desktop, tablet or mobile phone.
Enhanced Features
- Permalinks can now be bookmarked directly from the browser address.
- Persistent “sticky” filters that remain applied even when you modify your search query.
- Common and specialized limiters are available for both single and multi-database searches.
- Advanced date picker
- Improved thesauri and subject headings
Personalization Options
When signed in, users can access personalized features across the UI and in EBSCO Mobile. These include:
- Dashboards to help manage your research activities.
- The ability to create, save, and delete alerts, and add items to projects.
Accessibility Improvements
- Enhancements have been made to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards and text-to-speech (TTS) technology has been introduced to further enhance content accessibility.
Reach out to your liaison librarian if you have any questions or need assistance with the new interface.
