On Tuesday 5th August 2025 our online resources on the EBSCOhost platform will migrate to a new user interface and the current user interface will be withdrawn.

If you have used a MyEBSCO account to organise your saved research, the following will not be migrated to the new EBSCOhost user interface:

• Search alerts
• Journal alerts
• Persistent links to searches
• Custom folders

Continue reading for actions you might want to take so that you can record and re-create your saved research in the EBSCOhost new user interface.

To access your MyEBSCO account, visit our A-Z of Databases list and click on the link for any EBSCOhost database.

Click on the sign in option and enter your MyEBSCO account details.

Once signed in click on the folder option.

Search alerts

Your saved alerts will not be migrated to the EBSCOhost new user interface.

Prior to the migration you may want to sign in to your MyEBSCO account to make a record of your search alerts.

Watch the Creating Search Alerts on the New EBSCO User Interfaces tutorial for help with using your record to re-create search alerts.

Alternatively, your saved searches will be migrated to the EBSCOhost new user interface and can be used to           re-create some of your search alerts.

Journal alerts

Your journals alerts will not be migrated to the EBSCOhost new user interface.

Prior to the migration you may want to sign in to your MyEBSCO account to make a record of your journal alerts or use journal alerts delivered to your inbox or RSS Feed reader to make a record.

Alternatively, visit the How can I download the data from MyEBSCO custom folders in the classic EBSCO interfaces help page for details of a report you can download from the EBSCOhost new user interface. 

The report contains a record of your journal alerts and is available to download up until 31st December 2025.

Persistent links to searches

Custom folders

Any custom folders you have created will not be migrated to the EBSCOhost new user interface.
