News for Students Using EBSCO Databases

Results List Enhancements for EBSCO Databases

EBSCO has applied a fresh new design to the EBSCOhost interface, and enhanced the Result List for greater usability:
•Limiters and the date slider are now in the left column, consolidating all the ways to refine and work with results.
•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.

The Library has these EBSCO Databases:
CINAHL (Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health)
Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition
PsycINFO
GreenFILE
LISTA (Library Information Science & Technology Abstracts)
Education Research Complete
ERIC (Education Resource Information Center)
Academic Search Premier
