EBSCO Databases: New User Interface

Discover a Smarter, Simpler Research Experience

We’re pleased to announce that EBSCO, one of our most popular academic database suppliers, has launched a new user interface for its EBSCOhost platform, designed to make your research journey smoother, faster and more intuitive. Whether you're conducting a quick search or building a complex query, the updated platform offers a range of enhancements to help you find and manage information more effectively.

Key Features of the New Interface

Streamlined Search Tools:

• Natural language search lets you type questions or phrases just like you would in Google.
• Segmented results tabs for easy navigation between content types (e.g. journals, news, reports, videos, etc.).
• Up to 12 advanced search bars for building detailed queries.

Enhanced Research Management:

• Customisable search history with bulk download options (up to 500 searches).
• Improved folder tools for saving and organising your research.

Accessibility & Usability:

• Better screen reader compatibility and keyboard navigation.
• Responsive design for mobile and tablet users.

EBSCO databases benefitting from the new UI include: British Education Index, Business Source Ultimate, CINAHL Ultimate, ERIC, Hospitality and Tourism Complete, MLA International Bibliography, RILM Music Abstracts and SPORTdiscus.

Explore the enhanced interface today by visiting the Library Databases page and selecting any of the available EBSCO databases or the general EBSCOhost entry.

If you require further support using the new interface with these databases, please contact your campus subject librarian or submit a query via Library Answers.
