EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) provides information resources and tools to libraries, including EBSCOhost, a database platform for searching articles and other materials. EBSCO has used customer feedback, usage data, user research, and usability studies to update the EBSCOhost interface. The primary concerns they aimed to address were:
Modernizing their Interface
Meeting Accessibility Guidelines
Adding More Customization Features
Creating a Responsive Design for All Devices
Watch the video below to see a quick snapshot of their recent changes. As a reminder, our EBSCO databases only contain a portion of our subscribed databases. Use our library catalog, also known as Spartan Search, to find resources from all of our subscribed content.
IMPORTANT: Before the library makes the switch, please download or move any saved items in your custom or shared EBSCO folders to your My Folder. Any items saved to custom or shared folders, in addition to the following items in your general MyEBSCO folder, are not available in My Dashboard: companies, webpages, journal alerts, search alerts, persistent link to searches, notes, pages, other content sources.
In April 2025, EBSCO will provide download options for classic custom folders to users with personalized accounts.
Through our authentication service, a "My EBSCOhost Account" may be created for you automatically in EBSCO. Optional data such as your first name, last name, and AU email address have been shared to provide a personalized experience and access to our online material. Your email address is required if you wish to download ebooks from their databases.
