New EBSCOhost User Interface
Answer
On January 6, all databases on the EBSCOhost platform will be migrated to EBSCO's new user interface (UI).
If you use custom folders, saved searches, or search alerts in EBSCOhost, please see below for important information.
Custom Folders
Articles saved in My Folder within your EBSCO account will be automatically migrated to the new UI right away. However, articles saved in custom folders will not be available in the new UI until April 2025. You can manually move these items prior to April by following the steps below.
- Sign in to your EBSCO account on the Classic EBSCOhost UI.
- Navigate to the content you would like to move:
- Check the box next to Select / deselect all, then choose Copy To > My Folder:
- Repeat this process for each subfolder of content you would like to move.
- Your items will now be available on the new EBSCOhost UI. To access them, log in to MyEBSCO in the upper right corner of the new UI and then navigate to My dashboard > Saved in the left sidebar menu:
Search Alerts
Search alerts that were set up in the Classic EBSCOhost UI will not be visible in the new UI. However, you will continue to receive emails generated by the alert until the end date that was set when the alert was first created. You can also create search alerts in the new UI.
Saved Searches
Saved searches will not be carried over to the new UI and will have to be recreated.
