EBSCO is changing its interface for all databases. During the winter interim period of December 2024-January 2025, the interface for EBSCO research article databases will be updated to a new look and feel. Watch EBSCO's tutorials for an overview of the basic and advanced search features.

Throughout the Spring 2025 semester, you will still be able to access the classic interface with the "Ebsco Resource List" by selecting "Full Text Journals (and other sources)- General" and then selecting the specific database(s). Also during this time, when you are searching the library's catalog, articles search, and journal search, or using the "Get it @ BU" link you will be directed to the item in the classic interface. 

Wherever possible, EBSCO recommends you begin using the updated URL formats, because that will make ongoing link maintenance much easier. Any EBSCO permalinks saved in documents or courses should be updated. 

Starting in Summer 2025, the new interface will be the only interface for EBSCO. Links to the classic EBSCO will redirect to the new interface. 

If you have questions or need assistance with the new interface and its features, contact your liaison librarian or reference@bradley.edu.
