Upcoming changes with EBSCO databases

As happens periodically EBSCO databases are updating the way their user interface looks.  Don't fear things aren't changing to much.

Here are the highlights of what will change over the next couple of days.

  • The limiter and the date slider column will move from the right to the left of the Result List. For a look at the updated Result List, you can go to this link.
  • Detailed record pages will be more streamlined, and links to full text and ILL buttons will be more prominently displayed on the left hand side of the record
  • You'll be able to select multiple source types, such as books and articles, when narrowing down your result list.
  • A "breadbox" will show users which limiters, expanders and source types have already been selected, and enable easy removal of these refinements.

If you have any questions about the changes please contact us and we'll do our best to answer your questions.
