EBSCO, who host databases including APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, ERIC and SocINDEX, are making some changes.
EBSCO who supply several of our subscription databases, including APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, ERIC and SocINDEX have updated their platform interface with some significant changes. The changes aim to make refining, saving and sharing search results easier following user testing and feedback.
What this means for you
- Saved searches and articles - All saved searches and articles in the top level MyFolder area will migrate to the user Dashboard area on the new interface. Find out how to access your saved content.
- Custom folders and subfolders - Custom folders and subfolders will not be migrated to the new interface. If you have created custom folders or subfolders, you can retrieve this data on the new interface from the switchover on 14th July until 31 July.
