EBSCO Publishing is pleased to announce the release of EBSCOhost^® Web 6.0, a newly enhanced version of the current EBSCOhost interface. EBSCOhost now offers many new features to better accommodate EBSCOhost users. This new EBSCOhost design and functionality is the culmination of months of research and field-testing with librarians. The interface design has been retooled to be cleaner and more easily navigable.

New EBSCOhost features include a new Thesauri for CINAHL™, MEDLINE^®, and PsycINFO^®; a spell-checker; new print options; and a folder for marking items across searches to print/e-mail or save. Additional features include an updated graphical user interface and three new options for Advanced Search, which has replaced the current Guided and Expert search screens." In addition, EBSCOadmin™ has also been upgraded to support the new EBSCOhost Web 6.0 features.

"This release is the result of literally years of ideas, months of intensive market research and dozens of usability studies," said Michael Gorrell, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer for EBSCO Publishing. "We have taken a very solid and effective product, and made it much better. We appreciate the time, interest and expertise of the many customers who helped in this effort."

A list of all the new features of EBSCOhost Web 6.0 along with descriptions of each feature can be found at www.ebscoweb.com. Training documentation for the new interface (for customers) can also be found at this Web site.
