New Interface for EBSCOhost on January 7

New logo for EBSCOhost interface

On January 7, 2025, EBSCO will move all users to a new interface for the EBSCOhost platform.

The new interface is a significant improvement. It reduces visual clutter, improves accessibility, and adds more controls over search, filters, saving, and sharing. According to EBSCO, it has been expressly designed around student preferences, rather than those of faculty or library staff.

You do not need to have a personal account to read or download material or to use any of the search, citing, or sharing functions, but you can create a personal account if you want to save search results for later or organize your research into “projects” on that particular platform.
