The PICOT guided search tool has been updated in the following ways: Descriptive text has been added that helps busy medical users understand how to run a PICOT search, with a link to an updated Connect page; a “Clear all” button was added to clear all PICOT search boxes; and the Boolean operator inserted between “Intervention” and “Comparison” changed from OR to AND, so the search string displays on the Advanced Search page as follows: Population/Problem AND (Intervention AND Comparison) AND Outcome AND Time. Users are welcome to modify this prior to running the search, by manually changing the search query on the Advanced Search page.
The PICOT tool is disabled by default. However, customers or EBSCO Support can enable it via the Configuration module in EBSCO Experience Manager.
Related Items, previously only available on select Explora interfaces, has been added to all interfaces including EDS and EBSCOhost. This feature shows on both the detailed record and in the full text viewer and lists all other articles included in the same issue or edition of the record you are currently viewing, serving as a way to navigate through articles and chapters in a given issue.
Streamline eResource access in Koha catalogs, especially in consortium environments. It dynamically verifies eResource availability for specific library sites and seamlessly inserts access links into the New UI's "Access Options," tailored by item type and library location code.
Get It Now from Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) complements your interlibrary loan (ILL) services by providing library patrons with the immediate fulfillment of full text articles from non-subscribed journals through a cost-effective and easy-to-use service integrated within Full Text Finder and/or EBSCO Discovery Service

Upon the institution migrating to the new UI, all active personal users will incur a migration of their saved searches, ensuring those users can view and manage these saved searches alongside those which were saved within the new UI
A new field code (search tag) has been added to select EBSCOhost databases: XB searches both the Title and the Abstract simultaneously in Academic Search (all versions), CINAHL (all versions), Medline (all versions), Health Business (all versions), SPORTDiscus (all versions), APA PsycInfo, PsycBooks, PsycTherapy, and PsycExtra. APA PsycArticles and PsycTests will receive it by July 2025. Command line searching with XB is supported by some EDS partner databases as well.
XB will appear in the Field Code drop-down list when searching applicable individual databases in an EBSCOhost profile. In multi-database EBSCOhost searches and any EDS profile, only common field codes will display, excluding XB. Note that typing XB into a command line search for an unsupported database will treat XB as a keyword search which will provide skewed results. We recommend using XB only in single-database searches.
For customers using both EBSCO Discovery Service and PressReader, this integration allows PressReader results to appear directly in the new EBSCO Discovery Service user interface. Users can then link to the PressReader website to access full text or explore additional results.
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.
