EBSCOhost 2.0 is Now Online

EBSCOhost is the provider for many of the library's most used databases, including Academic Search Premier. Its completely revamped EBSCOhost 2.0 interface is now fully implemented. Its brand new look and feel, based on extensive user testing and feedback, provides you a more powerful, clean and intuitive interface available. This is the first redesign of the EBSCOhost interface since 2002, and its functionality incorporates the latest technological advances.

You will discover that many of the tools that have always been a part of EBSCOhost are both easier to find and more intuitive to use. For instance, the search screen has been reorganized so that almost everything a researcher would be interested in is immediately presented. Also results and refinement tools are compactly presented in three columns. The results themselves are in the middle column, methods to refine your search in the left column and limiters (such as date ranges) are found to the right. If you need more room to view the results, the right and left columns can be turned off. Finally, there new features such a image search.

The library staff hopes that you will appreciate the clean new look and functionality of EBSCOhost 2.0.
