EBSCOhost Interface and Navigation Updates

Wednesday, August 5, 2026

EBSCOhost – the platform that brings you databases like Academic Search Complete and CINAHL Ultimate – has introduced a streamlined layout designed to improve your research workflow. While the academic content remains the same, you will notice a few key improvements to how you navigate the site:

  • Top-Level Navigation: Primary menu links have moved to the top header for a more modern, spacious search environment.
  • Improved Filters: The left-hand panel has been optimized to help you filter peer-reviewed articles, dates, and source types more efficiently.
  • Unified Dashboard: Your saved projects, searches, and citations are now housed under the MyEBSCO login.

What you need to do:
If you use personal folders to save your research, please log into your MyEBSCOaccount*. This triggers the system to safely migrate your saved materials into the updated interface.
 

*Please note, you need to personally set up the MyEBSCO account. It’s not the Viterbo username and password you use to access EBSCO from off campus.
