New EBSCOHost Enhancements

This summer, EBSCOHost changed the interface for many of it's databases, including CINAHL and Health Source - Nursing/Academic Edition. Most of these changes can bee see on the results screen:

  • The limiting functions and the date slider are now in the left column with the other limiters.
  • To the right of the Result List are search/content expansion tools: Related Information, access to integrated search (EHIS) connectors, widgets.
  • You can now select multiple clusters and source types when managing results.
  • A "breadbox" tracks which limiters, expanders and source types have been selected and allows one-click removal.
  • Menu organization for page options and alert/save/share has been improved.

Take a look at any of our EBSCOHost databases and try these new features out. And let me know if you have any questions.
