A preview of the new EBSCOhost interface will be available prior to the June 24, 2025 transition date.
When using the preview link, you will need to select a database before conducting any searches. You can login to your MyEBSCO account on the new interface as shown below.
To login to your MyEBSCO account on the new interface, use the link in the upper right.
After the migration, previously saved articles can be found under "My Dashboard" by clicking on "Saved" then "Records." To find previously saved searches, click on "Saved" then "Searches."
To create a Search Alert, enter your search terms and add any filters that you want to use. Once the search is completed, click the button with three vertical dots to the upper right of the search results. In the dropdown menu, choose "Create alert."
If you have not logged into your EBSCO account already, you will be prompted to do so, and then taken to the "Create search alert" page.
The default name will be the same as your search query. You can define a name for the alert, add a description, and set the frequency you would like to receive the alert. Leave the boxes checked for email notifications and click "Create alert."
You will receive an email that your alert has been created, and it will be saved in your Dashboard under Alerts.
To create a Journal Alert, click on "Publications," located below the search boxes.
Search for the journal title.
Click on the journal title and the journal information page will open. Click on the three vertical dots to the right of the title and choose "Create alert" from the dropdown menu.
If you have not logged into your EBSCO account already, you will be prompted to do so, and then taken to the "Create journal alert" page. You can edit the title of the alert, add a description, and select if you only want to receive the alert once the full-text is available (recommended).
Leave the alert notifications selected and click "Create alert." You will receive a notification that your alert has been created, and will be notified when a new issue of the journal is added to EBSCOhost.
To download a report of items that were in your Custom Folders, login to your MyEBSCO account (as shown above), and click on "Projects" under "My Dashboard."
An Excel file will be downloaded to your browser's downloads folder with the filename "EBSCO_folder_report.xlsx."
See detailed instructions with screenshots from EBSCO.
Note that this file will include articles from My Folder as well as from My Custom Folders.
To save an article to your MyEBSCO folder, make sure you are logged in, then click on the bookmark icon to the right of the article title.
To save a search to your MyEBSCO folder, make sure you are logged in. Then click on the three vertical dots to the upper right of the search results. In the dropdown menu, choose "Save search."
Many users will be familiar with using "permalinks" to return to searches or cite articles. Previously, you could not copy and re-use the URL from the browser. In the new interface, you will be able to copy the URL from the browser's address bar and use it later to return to your search or article.
The new interface does have a "Share" option to create a link to article details. You can also just copy the URL from the address bar of the browser, for both individual articles and search results.
The new interface includes a text-to-speech option so you can listen to articles.
Which articles are included?
The feature is limited to articles that can be viewed within the Discovery interface. Articles that say "Online Full Text" or "PDF" under the Access options drop-down are included.
In either the online full-text or PDF viewer, click on the headphones icon to use the text-to-speech feature. You can adjust volume, speed, text scrolling, and highlighting. If you do not want to remain in the viewer, you can download the audio as an mp3 file.
