Changes to EBSCO databases in your Digital Library
Personalisation and why EBSCO has updated their platform
EBSCO platforms (which host our databases, CINAHL and Medline, and some of our online books and journals) have moved to new interfaces as of Tuesday 5 August 2025.
This changes how you:
- create folders
- save searches
- save items.
What hasn't changed:
- how you access the databases or full texts.
Why is EBSCO changing the EBSCOhost user experience and interface?
EBSCO have redesigned the EBSCOhost experience and user interface to meet ever-evolving user expectations for accessing, searching, choosing and using library resources.
This includes:
- personalised dashboards
- new ways to share and save resources
- reading eBooks
- ... and much more.
You can find out more about EBSCO's changes by visiting their website.
