We will create and maintain a translation workflow for the customizable text within certain Topic Management (TM) components. Specifically for Referencia Latina & Salud en Espanol, search strings will be stored and returned/executed in Spanish, with the availability of an icon or button to toggle the Spanish translations on/off.
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.
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.
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.
The Related Items feature found on the detailed record and in the PDF and HTML viewers will be renamed to Publication Contents to better reflect what this feature is showing to end users - other articles included in the same issue (serials) or edition (monographs) as the record the user is currently on.
Library administrators now have the capability to generate New UI URLs for their EBSCO products, including database-specific URLs. This new feature will be integrated into the Search Box Builder within EBSCO Experience Manager.
Natural Language Search (NLS) allows researchers to search using everyday language in question or statement form. At the time when NLS is supported in EBSCO interfaces, library administrators can choose to enable NLS as an optional search mode using their EBSCO Experience Manager configuration. When enabled in a given interface or profile, end users can opt to utilize NLS to find highly relevant results in response to a natural language query.
Reports & Statistics - COUNTER reporting will be upgraded to support release 5.1 Code of Practice to maintain industry compliance. Users will be able to access, generate and schedule COUNTER R5.1 & SUSHI server reports. COUNTER R5 & R5.1 reporting ability will live concurrently until EBSCO deprecates the R5 customer facing reports in June 2025.
