What's new?
- OneSearch, our current discovery service, will be powered by a new product, called Primo. It will still be called OneSearch, but will look and function differently, be more streamlined, and will contain a larger number of results.
- The Library catalog, our current tool for searching print books, will be replaced by a new interface, which will be linked from the library home page.
- Journal List, our tool for locating electronic journals, will be incorporated into OneSearch.
- New features! You will notice more features, such as:
- Faster Searching: You can save time by searching nearly all the library’s collections or choose to just search for newspapers, articles, or ebooks.
- Easier Discovery: You can uncover resources through virtual title browsing and citation trails and you can find open access and peer reviewed resources more easily.
- Personalized Search Experience: You can log in to save your favorite searches, mark items for later use and easily export records to citation management systems.
- Mobile-friendliness: The user interface allows researchers to perform all functions using their mobile device.
When will this happen?
The new system will go live June 5, 2024. We will be providing updates as the project continues throughout the spring, especially with information on any temporary service changes or suspensions as the new system is prepared.
There will be a link to the "Classic OneSearch" until August 5. This will give you an opportunity to still use the old system, while getting used to the new one.
What about my saved records or bookmarks?
If you have previously saved records in your OneSearch EBSCO account, you will be able to access these from any EBSCO database after the new system goes live, but will no longer be able to access these via OneSearch.
If you have saved bookmarks to library pages they will still work, but OneSearch booksmarks may not. In this case you may have to create new bookmarks.
What if I need help with the new system?
As you learn your way around the new system, the library will provide helpful videos, and you can always Ask a Librarian for help.
What will the new system look like?
While the OneSearch search box on the library home page will look similar to the search box you currently see, the results screen will be new and improved.
