You may have noticed that the Ellender Memorial Library search function isn\u2019t exactly how you remember it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EBSCO Discovery Service has modified its user interface with the goal of improving how students search and find library resources. The change has been designed to more closely resemble an app, which many students are more comfortable with than traditional websites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think the database\u2019s new look is clean,\u201d said Brandy Burbante, Library Director. \u201cThe new features will make it easier to find peer-reviewed articles, ebooks, and more. If you have any questions, the librarians are here to help you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can book an appointment with a librarian for help with research here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The new user experience will include dashboards that can be personalized, new ways to share resources and see other articles people recommend based on your search, accessibility options, transcripts for videos, better ways to read eBooks and more. One of the biggest changes will be in how filters are accessed<\/a>, in that more options will be available post-search when there is data to be filtered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some examples that will be available post-search include Subject, Publisher, Publication, Language, Geography, and more depending on database subscriptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The changes also include a concept map<\/a>, which will allow you to filter your searches in a more visual way. Additionally, the citation management tools <\/a>are getting an upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
