EBSCOhost New Interface

Bookmark Browser URLs

 

In the old interface, one of the methods of saving a resource from your search is to copy the permalink.

EBSCO has updated their linking configuration to include built-in authentication. This means you can use your browser's URL to save your resources.

Note: Using the browser as a permalink is specific to EBSCO databases only. Continue to use the traditional permalinks from our other vendors.

Within this viewer, users can see how many copies are available to the library, and whether the title is currently in use. In addition to the new PDF viewer, there’s a new e-book viewer, which gives the option of downloading the whole e-book, or selecting individual chapters from the table of contents.
