The EBSCO databases you know and (hopefully) love are getting a makeover!
This summer, our EBSCO databases will migrate to a brand new user interface. Highlights include:
- simplified, clean design
- improved accessibility
- intuitive filters
- personalized dashboard
- AI insights
- and much more!
EBSCO aims to make the transition to the new user interface as seamless as possible, but some users who have saved items to their personal accounts may want to take action prior to the migration.
If you have a personal MyEBSCO account, any articles and books you have saved to My Folder will migrate to the new user interface, and you do not need to take any action.
However, if you have created My Custom folders, these will NOT migrate to the new user interface.
If you want to retain the contents of My Custom folders, these are your options:
- Move any articles, ebooks, and saved searches from My Custom folders to My Folder. This guide with video demonstrates how do to this.
- Save or export the items from My Custom folders (for use outside EBSCO). Refer to this guide with video.
- Take no action. After migration, you should be able to download an Excel file of the contents of My Custom folders.
How do you know if you have items in My Custom folders? Just Sign In to your EBSCOhost account (if you ever created one), then click on the Folder icon to check.
Additionally, if you have Search Alerts, you may want to change them to Saved Searches, since Search Alerts will not migrate. Please see this guide for more information.
Look for additional information to come. In the meantime, click on the image below for a brief introduction to the new user interface. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our friendly librarians at lccref@hawaii.edu.
