Library databases on the EBSCO platform will have a change of interface in 2024

April 29, 2024

Why is EBSCO changing the interface? 

EBSCO is redesigning the EBSCOhost experience and user interface to meet ever-evolving user expectations for accessing, searching, choosing and using library resources. They are introducing many new features including personalized dashboards, new ways to share and like resources, reading eBooks, and much more.  

 

How will the new EBSCO differ from what I use today? 

They have reimagined the new EBSCOhost experience and user interface (UI) based on customer feedback, usage data, user research and usability studies. The redesigned UI presents users with new, intuitive ways to refine, navigate, like and share search results.
