The Advanced Search page's search boxes now automatically resize to always show the full length of the search string entered. And users can now add up to 12 search boxes by clicking “Add row” and delete any additional rows back down to the default of 3, by clicking “Delete row.” There's also a new "Clear all" button which clears all search boxes at once.
We have added a "Search within" feature to the topic browse category pages allowing users to search for specific topics. We have also added logic to only show the Alpha Browse (A-Z) buttons when there are 100 or more topics on a given category page, and to force the "List view" when there are 100 or more topics on a given category page.
The Clear Find Field setting in EBSCOadmin is now honored in the new user interface
The New UI now supports the EBSCOadmin setting “Run SmartText Search when Query Returns No Results.” When enabled, this setting automatically reruns zero-result searches using the SmartText search mode.
We are pleased to announce new versions of the four NoveList interfaces that are modern, accessible and mobile friendly. The new NoveList experience will offer reading inspiration via trusted reading recommendations, curated book lists, and more.
EBSCO eBooks users now have access to the following new functionality to align with requirements of the European Accessibility Act: accessibility metadata displayed for every EBSCO eBook in the new UI; an EPUB limiter for eBooks in new UI; line, word, and character spacing controls for EPUB formatted eBooks; text-to-speech functionality for PDF and EPUB formatted eBooks; and a user-facing remediation request form for EBSCO full text content to request an alternate format.
Publication Finder and Full Text Finder are now available on Connect
For libraries with FOLIO Patron Empowerment, librarians can configure a custom note to display to their patrons in the place hold modal. It is now possible to configure the custom note in multiple languages (all supported languages).
For libraries with RTAC (Real Time Availability Check) enabled for the catalog items, librarians can now choose whether to display the due date of catalog items that are currently on loan. The item due date displays in RTAC by default if an item is on loan. Librarians can use Configuration in EBSCO Experience Manager to hide the due date (note that EBSCO-hosted FOLIO libraries also have the option to display the due date but not hide the due date time).
