Resource Update: Ebsco

As part of continued efforts to constantly improve their search experience, EBSCO is releasing several updates and enhancements, including:
  • Improvements to the overall look of the Search, Search Results, and Detailed Record pages within EBSCOhost, providing a more visually appealing interface to end users.
  • The feature previously labeled Alert/Save/Share is now labeled Share. All of the existing functionality of this feature remains the same. This change is one of several small updates that further optimizes their interface for language translation.
  • Visual Search will be discontinued in all EBSCO databases and interfaces.  This change enables them to focus on additional enhancements and improvements to many of the popular features.
