Publication Finder now offers the ability to export selected result list items (individual items or a full page of results, up to 100 items) as a tab separated (TSV) file. Export can be toggled on in EBSCO Experience Manager Configuration under Publication Finder Settings: Export options
This feature adds an optional new top right navigation to the Publication Finder user interface where your administrator can add preset links to your EBSCOhost and EDS profiles, or add custom URLs to link to other sites. These new options will be available for setup under a new section for Publication Finder in EBSCO Experience Manager Configuration called Additional tools. This will also make Publication Finder profiles eligible to display the Supplemental sources integration, and if configured, the link to Supplemental sources will display under the top right navigation options or can be linked to directly via the syntax https://publications.ebsco.com/c/{opid}/supplemental-sources, where opid is replaced with the unique opid for your Publication Finder profile. Supplemental Sources Integration is controlled in EBSCO Experience Manager Configuration under Integrations: Supplemental sources
Configuration of IP authentication will move from EBSCOadmin to EBSCO Experience Manager. Administrators will benefit from self-supported IP configuration in a modern and intuitive UI.
Library administrators will be able to configure and use their institution's SAML Single Sign-On (such as OpenAthens, MS Entra, or Shibboleth) for access to EBSCO Experience Manager. This work will allow for more secure, standard authentication and role-based access control for EEM, an interface where product configuration is increasingly homed. Administrators can easily connect to their SAML Identity Provider using the setup wizard, and granularly manage permissions for administrative access.
Publication Finder customers will have the ability to enable a new set of functionality (opt-in, this will not be enabled automatically) that offers users the ability to search and browse for selected and visible databases in addition to the currently offered publication search and browse. This will also tie into new functionality being made available in Holdings Management to set custom package Display Names, alternate package names and package/database descriptions.
Library administrators now have the ability to customize the text of the Publications label that appears in the lefthand navigation pane under Research Tools on EBSCO Discovery Service, EBSCOhost, and Explora profiles. The default label is now Publication Finder.

4. Multilingual Support: Access the form in all languages supported by EBSCO.
The Publication Finder search box builder is now available in the new search box module in EEM.
