We are improving the font and image treatment in the Topic Browse experience, as well as making changes to the featured content carousels and featured topics on the landing pages.
We will be changing the “New search” link in the left-hand navigation pane on Explora interfaces to an “Advanced search” link, and adding a dedicated “Home” button that brings users to the Topic Browse landing page.
We will make design changes to the Smart Panels that display on the result list in Explora products, including the addition of quick links to Points, Counterpoints, and Guides to Critical Analysis to the Smart Panels in Points of View Ultimate.
EBSCO is adopting a new Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution for EBSCO eBooks, Readium LCP DRM, offered by EDRLab. This will bring significant benefits to publishers, libraries, and their patrons, enhancing the overall user experience and ensuring better content protection. This will eliminate the need for users to use Adobe Digital Editions and provide them with an accessible and modern offline reading experience with Thorium Reader, also offered by EDRLab.
Customers will be able to enable a landing page for their EBSCO eBook collection in new UI, supporting a browse experience and highlighting particular content in the library's eBook collection.
