Research Platforms Roadmap

Users of Points of View and Read It! on Explora will soon have a new Topic Page experience which highlights related content collections for Points of View Point/Counterpoint articles and Read It! comprehension tests.

“My Dashboard” is now collapsed by default on Explora. Users can click on the “My Dashboard” header to expand it. After expanding this menu, it will remain expanded as users navigate through the interface. Users can also collapse it again by clicking on the “My Dashboard” header, and it will remain collapsed until expanded again.

Search Modes and Expanders are now available on the New UI for EBSCOhost, EDS and Explora. They are located on the Advanced Search in a newly added tab called “Search Options”.  All existing EBSCOadmin configuration options selected by the customer are being honored:
– The customer’s default Search Mode
– The customer’s default Expander(s)
– Expander(s) selected for display on the interface

Spotlights and Featured Collections are now available on Explora landing pages – check out our Spotlight on sharks on Explora Primary this month!

Users can expand the abbreviated abstract to show the full abstract from the results list while using EBSCOhost, EBSCO Discovery Service, and Explora profiles

A suite of new products and user interface enhancements to Explora specifically for our school products are now available. They include even better browsing, subject-specific content and highlights, improved results segmentation and more based on extensive customer feedback and user research.
