Changes EBSCO databases
EBSCOhost offers access to databases in vry diverse 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.

If you have any questions about EBSCO and/or the changed interface, please email our information literacy team: eduteam-library rug.nl.
