What will searching for library resources be like in the new EBSCO interface?

Answer

Exciting changes are coming to Steely's library resources search features (otherwise known as the EBSCO Discovery Service, or EDS for short)!

In June of 2025, our EBSCO-based resources will get a fresh, user-friendly redesign. In addition to impacting the interface for our EBSCOhost databases and how you browse for journals, searching for library resources from Steely Library's homepage will also look a little different.

You will notice the new interface when using Steely Library's All Resources, Articles, Books & Media, and Journals search features on the library homepage. Rest assured, you'll still have all your favorite features, plus some new tools!

We have gathered some resources here to help you prepare. We're also happy to meet with you or your team to explain these changes and answer any questions. Fill out this short form to reach out to us and we will be in touch soon!
