From 8 July, you'll notice a refreshed look when using Search Everything and other EBSCO databases.

Based on feedback from libraries and users around the world, EBSCO has updated its interface to make it easier to navigate, search, and access content. While the appearance will be different, the core search features and high-quality content you rely on remain the same.

What's changing?

Some of the updates you'll notice include:

  • A cleaner, more modern layout across EBSCO databases. 
  • Navigation menus moving from the left-hand side of the screen to the top of the page, making key tools easier to find. 
  • More space dedicated to search results and article information. 
  • Improved filter options that make it easier to narrow and refine your results. 
  • Saved items, projects, alerts, recent activity, and other personal tools grouped together under the My EBSCO menu. 
  • Page-by-page navigation for results, replacing the current Show more results option. 

What stays the same?

Although the interface is changing, you'll still have access to the same trusted academic journals, eBooks, magazines, reports and other resources available through our EBSCO databases. 

You can read more about changes in this EBSCO article.
