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.
The switchover to the new platform is scheduled for 14th July.
