EBSCOhost databases – including Academic Search Complete, APA PsycArticles, CINAHL, and all others – have a newly updated user interface.  This means a new look, with some things in a different place than you are used to.  Although the searching page has been streamlined, the same options and limiters, such as full-text, peer-review, and publication date are still available.

Some of the changes include improved web accessibility, ability to bookmark links directly from the browser address, and filters that remain applied when a search query is modified.  Additionally, more focus has been placed on “My Dashboard,” your own personal EBSCO account which allows you to save articles, view search history, review checkouts and holds, and organize resources by project (*Please note, this is your own personal EBSCO account which you set up, NOT your Viterbo information which you use to log-in to databases off campus*.)

You can find more information about this change at https://libguides.viterbo.edu/onlinelibraryorientation/EBSCO_UI.  If you have questions or encounter errors, please contact Instruction & Electronic Resources Librarian, Jodi Hilleshiem, at jchilleshiem@viterbo.edu or 608-796-3278.
