On 5th August EBSCO will be migrating Bournemouth University students and staff to their new Library EBSCOhost search interface. Important information about this migration and recommended actions are outlined below.
The change to the new interface ensures that EBSCO meet with accessibility requirements and improves usability. Support material for the new user interface can be found on EBSCO’s tutorials page and in their Quick Start Guide
It is important for users who have saved searches and bookmarked articles that they want to keep, to review EBSCO’s migration support page. Whilst some content in default folders will be automatically migrated, the formatting will not be guaranteed. Content in custom folders, saved searches and search alerts will not be migrated from the current interface, but can be manually exported.
For important search strategies, we recommend taking a screenshot in the old interface as a backup.
