Changes EBSCO databases

EBSCOhost offers access to databases in various fields. Some examples of databases are America: history & life, Art Index, Communication & Mass Media Complete, Bibliography of Asian studies, Psycinfo, Medline, MLA and more.

Effective 31 July, EBSCO will have a completely new interface.

What will change?

• Improved search history
  You can now download up to 500 searches

• Citations more visible
  You can now see how often an article has been cited by other researchers

• Expanded thesaurus functionality (APA)
  The “explode” function of the APA thesaurus becomes more powerful: when you use this function, all underlying terms are now included in your search (previously, it only searched one level deeper).

• Improved working environment for advanced researchers
  The interface now combines several elements in one overview, allowing you to switch faster between searching and viewing results:
  - the advanced search options (with multiple entry boxes)
  - your search history
  - the results list

In August, so-called Dynamic People Pages will additionally be included. These are dynamic profile pages of authors, with reliable information such as ORCID IDs, statistics, related topics, co-authors and published works.
