New user interface for EBSCO databases

On December 21st our databases CINAHL, PsycInfo, Amed, ERIC and Medline will be updated.

The new user interface will have a new look, and some functions will differ from the previous version. If you want a sneak peek of the new design, you can click this link. Choose which database you want to explore by clicking the link above the search box that says Searching: All databases.

Save your alerts and custom folders

If you have saved alerts or custom folders in any of these databases that you want to keep, follow the instructions below.

Up until December 20 you can save your alerts by following the instructions below:

Log in: Go to the database in question and log in to you personal EBSCO account. Click Folder in the top menu.
Save your alerts: In the left-hand menu, click Search Alerts and then Edit Alert. Check the box Saved Search (Permanent). This ensures that it will be transferred to the new interface as a saved search.
Save custom folders: In the left-hand menu, there are two types of folders: My folder and My custom. The content in My folder will automatically be transferred to the new interface, but the content in My custom will not. If you want to keep the content, you must manually save and transfer them to the new interface. Open the folder contents and choose one of the saving options in the right-hand menu, such as Save as file, Export, E-mail or Print.

Between December 21 and 31 you can save a report from your saved files following the instructions below:

If you haven’t previously moved the folder My Custom to the new user interface and want to save it, you can do so up until December 31.

Go to the database in question and log in to your personal EBSCO account.
In the left-hand menu, click Projects.
Click Get report.

An Excel file with your saved references from your folders will be downloaded.
