Changes for EBSCOHost / CINAHL account holders

Commencing 7 July 2025, EBSCOhost will launch a new user interface, impacting databases such as CINAHL Ultimate, Ageline, Business Source Ultimate, and more.  Those with an existing MyEBSCO account will have their personalised account migrated, with the notable exceptions of:

  • Journal alerts
  • Search alerts
  • In multi-line saved searches, any search lines that are not combined into the final search query.
  • Any Custom or Shared Folder content
  • Companies, Webpages, Persistent link to searches, Notes, Pages, Other content sources.

To reserve these features, account holders are encouraged to log into their account and take action before July 7.

Additionally, as there are some limitations to the migration of Saved Searches in MyFolder, account holders may wish to back these up in advance by copying and pasting the complete search into a separate document.

You can access the new EBSCOhost user interface before to 7 July by selecting ‘Click here to access new EBSCOhost’

 

 

You will automatically be directed to the new EBSCOhost user interface beyond this date.

To avoid losing data, here is what you need to do for:

  • Search alerts: If you wish to keep receiving email alerts for a search term, login to EBSCO/CINAHL to check what you have search alerts set up for. Then switch to the new interface (pictured above) and create a new search alert the same as your previous ones. Return to the classic interface and delete the old search alerts to avoid receiving duplicate emails.
  • Journal alerts: Login to EBSCO/CINAHL and switch to the new interface (pictured above). From there, create a journal alert for any journal you wish to receive new content notifications for. Return to the classic interface and delete the old search alerts to avoid receiving duplicate emails.
