EBSCO 2.0 – new interface

24 July, 2008

You may have noticed when using Computer Source or Inspec that database provider EBSCO had a new design.

It is designed to be far more user-friendly than the previous interface and from my brief experience I certainly think it is! You can watch a demo of the new interface here. Improvements include:

  • A new simpler basic searching screen
  • The ability to preview an article or image by mouseover
  • New result list
  • New detail display
  • New search history capability
  • Enhanced personalization features
  • New organization of limiters and expanders
  • New search modes including SmartText
  • URLs that can be bookmarked

We hope you find the improvements useful for your research. :)
