The Library Search interface has been upgraded and is now live! The new Library Search is clearer to read, easier to use, and mobile friendly. You'll still get all the same search results as before, but the user experience has been enhanced.
While most saved items have been migrated to the new Library Search, saved searches have not been migrated.
You can save your search in the new Library Search by going to your recent searches and clicking Save.
Searches saved within EBSCOHost databases will still be there, but will not have been migrated to the new Library Search.
Previously, all facets and filters were displayed on the right when using Library Search.
The new version does not display these, but they can be accessed by selecting the 'all filters' menu.
Previously, you needed to select 'UEA Access' to access the full text.
The new version of Library Search has an 'access options' menu. To access the full text, select 'view online'.
The additional filter for authors will no longer be available.
However, author and title key word searches or advanced searches can be used instead to achieve the same result.
Citations can be organised into folders if you choose to.
The new update changes the folders label to 'projects'. Whilst all citations have been migrated to the new interfaces, folders have not. However, to ensure a smooth transition if you have used folders, the current Library Search interface will remain accessible until December 2024. If you want to migrate folder structures, this should give you time to do so.
Recommended Reading Lists will no longer be linked to the individual entry on the search result list.
Recommended Reading Lists and Library Subject Guides will be found under the related resources link towards the bottom of the results list.
This brand new feature allows you to explore relationships between concepts and use them to construct search terms to pass to the discovery interface.
This feature can be used to search and link to top, third-party resources and databases.
You may see featured results appear on the new Library Search. These will have been set by the Library, helping to highlight useful information and top tips.
