Our Advanced Search is getting an all new look. A new user interface will bring improved accessibility features, an updated appearance and some new functionality.
The update will take place on 10th June 2025 but you can try out the new interface now.
What are the main changes?
The new interface has a Dashboard area which contains your saved resources. Login to MyEBSCO to access and organise searches and results. This feature replaces Folders and Custom Folders on the existing site (if you have custom folders read the What do I need to do? section).
Other new features include:
- A more simplified layout for more streamlined access to resources. Once you've located a title the "Access options" button will help you get to it.
- Quick filters under the search box so you can refine your search from the results page.
- A concept map to help you link ideas, discover keywords, and build searches.
What do I need to do?
If you have an existing MyEBSCO account then there are a few things you'll need to check:
- Make sure you are using your University of Lincoln details to log in to your MyEBSCO account. You may need to merge your accounts first - find out how in our FAQ. If you have searches or resources they will then be available in the new interface.
- If you have created Custom Folders on the existing site, please follow these instructions before August to transfer them to the new interface (coming soon).
- If you have any search alerts or persistent links to searches please follow these instructions before August to back them up or set them up again in the new interface.
Where I can find more information?
Visit our FAQ on getting started with the new interface or our curated list of tutorials.
EBSCO also has a range of help resources about the new interface, including a Quick Start guide on a range of topics.
Will this affect other EBSCOhost databases?
Yes, but not yet. The interface for all EBSCOhost databases will be updated as well on 5th August 2025.
You can try out the EBSCOhost interface now.
Where can I get more help?
While we expect the changes to be intuitive, we are available for any support or questions you may have during the migration. Please contact us if you have any questions about the process or the new interface.
