Library administrators can control the database display order from one location in EBSCOadmin. For multi-database EBSCOhost profiles, the Order setting on the Databases tab controls the sequence of databases shown in the database selection modal and the advanced search page's list of database-specific limiters. This means the display order for the database selection menu will be identical to the display order of database-specific limiters on the advanced search page. The Order setting can be found in EBSCOadmin under Choose Profile > Databases tab > Order column, for multi-database profiles only.
eBooks have been removed from the result list preview that appears on the topic pages in Explora when those eBooks already appear in an eBook carousel on the topic page. This resolves redundancy and allows us to showcase other results in the preview that aren’t already visible on the topic page via the carousel.
-
Institution name, which previously appeared in the color banner, is removed and will no longer be available as an option to display in the UI (Recommendation: use the newly disambiguated product name, referenced above, for institutional branding text)
-
Access to the language selection menu is moved out of the color banner and is collapsed to just the globe icon
Natural language search was renamed to AI‑assisted search to more clearly communicate how the feature works and the value it provides. As part of this update, the help modal content will also be revised to better describe functionality and usage. This change is intended to improve clarity, usability, and adoption, while the underlying capabilities remain the same.
Ask This Document lets you ask questions and receive answers drawn directly from the document itself. The feature analyzes each question, understands its context, and responds using only the information contained within the document—nothing more, nothing less. Ask This Document intelligently identifies relevant sections, surfaces precise answers, and will even point you to specific areas of the document were the information is found.
Based on feedback from customers using the new user interface and extensive user experience research, we will be updating some navigation elements, including:
- The left-hand navigation panel (right hand for right-to-left languages) will move to the top of the page.
- There will be an option to have the filter panel open on the left hand side of the screen. This will be configurable in the Configuration module of EBSCO Experience Manager.
- Dashboard tools will move into the MyEBSCO menu
- Language option menu will move to the new top navigation menu
- There will be an option to implement a “Back to home” button for users to easily navigate back to the home screen. This will be configurable in the Configuration module of EBSCO Experience Manager.
The Holdings and Link Management user interface was redesigned to align with WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards, ensuring all users have a highly accessible, usable and efficient experience to maintain their e-resource collections and Full Text Finder link configurations.
A new, conversational way to conduct research in EBSCOhost. The AI Conversational Search BETA provides our users a new page where they can have a multi-turn conversation with our content. The first BETA will be released on the Business Searching Interface and will be interacting with Business Source Ultimate content.
Libraries using both Argos from Scitility and EBSCO will be able to display clear retraction alerts directly within EBSCO Discovery Service and EBSCOhost. When an article has been retracted, a visible link will notify users of the retraction and seamlessly guide them to Argos, where they can view authoritative details about the reason for the retraction and its implications.
This integration enables libraries to add a “Map it” button to RTAC holdings in EBSCO Discovery Service by configuring a custom map URL. The button opens the library’s chosen mapping provider in a new window or tab, providing a wayfinding experience regardless of the map solution used.
