On Tuesday, August 27, Library OneSearch will get a new and improved interface. Updates will also be made to your EBSCOhost account, including your folder. If you use your folder, the resources you have saved will automatically transfer to your upgraded account, except items in your custom folder.
If you have a custom folder and want to make sure the items transfer to your upgraded account, take the following steps before Tuesday, August 27:
1. Log in to your EBSCOhost account by selecting the advanced search option in Library OneSearch. Then select the sign in link in the top right portion of the page.
2. Once signed in, select the Folder icon in the top right portion of the page.
3. From here, scroll down the page till you see your custom folder in the left portion of the screen. Select the folder you would like to access to expand it. Then select Articles.
4. Once you have accessed the articles in your custom folder, select the Select/deselect all box. Then select the Copy To button and choose My Folder.
Now your items will be copied to your general folder so when the Library OneSearch interface changes on Tuesday, August 27, these items will transfer to your upgraded account, and you will not lose them.
Once you have access to your upgraded account, you can organize your research into Projects by taking the following steps:
1. Sign in to your EBSCOhost Account by selecting the MyEBSCO link in the top right corner of the screen. Your username and password will be the same as they were on the previous interface.
2. Then select the Projects link under My Dashboard in the left portion of the screen.
3. Select the plus sign (+) in the right portion of the screen to create a new project.
4. Enter information about the new project you are creating such as name and due date. Then select Create.
5. Once your new project is created select the Saved link under My Dashboard in the left portion of the screen.
6. Select the three dots in the right portion of the screen next to the items you would like to add to the project and select Add to Project.
7. Then choose the project that you would like to add the items to.
