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 significant changes whose full implications aren't clear yet.
At this stage it appears that new content will continue to be indexed and no existing content will be removed unless it is retracted by its publisher.
The US Institute of Education (IES) is currently estimating the volume of content which will be indexed next year and will share further information in due course (last updated 4th July 2025).
We would love to know what you think of this guide. Please help us by completing this short form?
