Downloaded searches (Search History and Search Sets) will have the search metadata labels translated into the UI language. This applies to all export formats: MS Word, PDF, CSV, XML, RTF, TXT
Increasing the size of an interactive element within the ‘bulk actions’ toolset to 24x24 px to meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards Note: this is a new WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria
An influential works indicator on the results page and detailed record helps researchers, students, and librarians instantly recognize the most foundational works in any field. Created from EBSCO Scholarly Graph's citation network analysis, this indicator identifies works that have shaped a research domain by surfacing canonical sources directly in search results and detailed record views.
EBSCO's upcoming new EBSCOhost API is the future successor to both EDS API and EBSCOhost Integration Toolkit (EIT), offering access to the same content your EDS and EBSCOhost UI profiles use. In addition to core search and retrieve functionality, EBSCOhost API Beta will launch with support for features not currently available on our other APIs: AI assisted search, AI Insights, and Citation Discovery.
Library administrators for EBSCO Discovery Service profiles can customize the filter labels for EDS Source Type and EDS Content Provider by updating profile settings in EBSCOadmin > Choose Profile > Viewing Results tab > Edit Source Type Label and Edit Content Provider Label. Any custom labels previously configured for the Classic UI will automatically appear upon release (EDS only).
COUNTER R5.1 usage reports in EBSCOadmin will reflect AI-generated usage, following the COUNTER Code of Practice's AI usage best practice guidance.
Library administrators can configure the basic search page, including profiles with EBSCO Discovery Service custom placards, to send users directly to the advanced results page, which includes guided style search boxes, field codes, Boolean operators, and search history with search sets. Previously, the advanced results page was only available when users started from the advanced search page. This enhancement lets libraries maintain a simple search entry point while delivering a richer, more powerful results experience.
A new option in the EBSCO Experience Manager Configuration module allows administrators to choose between 'Direct to full text' behavior with or without the interim page. If 'Direct to full text' without the interim page is enabled, users will be taken directly to the first listed full text without stopping.
Consortium administrators will be able to use EBSCO Experience Manager (EEM) to manage settings for their child sites across eight levels (parent > child > grandchild > etc.) instead of the two that are supported today. This will make it easier to manage settings in several EEM apps, including EBSCO Configuration, where admins will be able to leverage the inheritance model to streamline how they manage settings for participating sites.
