EBSCOhost Resource Hub: Phase 2 of 3
December 2026
The EBSCOhost Resource Hub will replace the Select Service page early in 2027. It's a menu of your EBSCO profiles that's shown to authenticated users when the link they followed to reach EBSCO does not include syntax for a specific profile. 
 
This work will release in three phases, with the second phase anticipated in November or December 2026. The second release will enable consortium administrators to copy a customized version of the EBSCOhost Resource Hub to one or more child sites.

Expanded Access to Search History & Viewed Records
February 2027

Search history is expanded beyond the advanced results page to provide a more consistent experience across the platform. All EBSCOhost and EBSCO Discovery Service users will be able to access search history from the MyEBSCO menu and from a new icon next to basic and advanced search boxes, making it easier to revisit and reuse previous searches regardless of which result page style is configured for their profile. Recent activity will take users directly to viewed records from their current browser session, alongside the link to search history. Single search boxes on dashboard and detailed record pages will be retired as part of this release.
