The EBSCOhost interface provides access to a range of databases, e-journals and e- books. The databases are particularly useful for identifying journal articles and other publications on a particular topic within the subject areas covered by each database. You can also search across more than one database at a time.
A new EBSCOhost user interface is coming soon. A guide to using the new interface is in preparation and will be available here soon.
Action needed: if you have set up a personal account you will need to take action now to save your searches; you can link to some instructions below.
ERIC - a key indexing database for education and the social sciences - is undergoing major changes that will see its content reduced significantly in the next few weeks.
Some journal editors have already been notified about the planned deselections, however a full list of affected journals has yet to be published. A partial list is being compiled by volunteers and updated regularly.
At this stage it seems that existing records in ERIC should remain accessible. However, given uncertainties around long-term data preservation, we advise researchers to prioritise ERIC in their searching, particularly as journals addressing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) appear to be among those most at risk.
As we receive more information on this, we’ll provide further updates. In the meantime, if you’re concerned about how this may affect you, you’re welcome to contact the library for further support (last updated 7th April 2025).
We would love to know what you think of this guide. Please help us by completing this short form?
