Upcoming Changes for Library Databases on the EBSCO Platform
Posted on Tuesday, April 23rd, 2024
Changes to the EBSCO interface will not be coming until later in the year, but we want to give the college community as much notice as possible to plan accordingly.
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 have 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.
The AC Library currently subscribes to 28 EBSCO databases. We have provided a list of databases that will be affected:
