New EBSCO Interface

Posted by:
October 1, 2024

In early June of 2025, the interface of all EBSCO databases will be updated with a new look, while keeping the same functionalities. You can already begin to use the new interface, but all current functionality will not be available until early 2025.

LINK TO NEW EBSCO INTERFACE

Currently, the library team does not plan to migrate to this new interface until the June deadline set by EBSCO. To review all past and upcoming features, please visit EBSCO’s roadmap page. If you have any questions about this transition, please direct them to Roberto Arteaga (rarteaga@plu.edu). Additionally, if you have suggestions for improvement, please direct them to George Dragich (gdragich@ebsco.com), our EBSCO representative.

New features

  • Streamlined advanced search: The new advanced search is now more streamlined while maintaining all of the same functionality.
    • Look for the “Subjects” and the “⋮ More buttons to locate the tools that were located towards the top of the old interface.
  • New ways to apply filters: The new interface makes it easier to select available and peer-reviewed articles. Plus, the full range of filters is now kept hidden until selected, giving priority to your results.
    • Look for the “፣ All Filters” button under the search bar to access all of the filters you already know.
  • Text-to-speech features: Currently only for articles, but coming soon to ebooks, the new interface lets you listen and download audio versions of the articles and ebooks you locate.
