EBSCOhost database interface changed on 6th August. You will see new features now and over the following few weeks as EBSCO roll out updates.
We have some great databases through EBSCO, – PsycInfo, Medline, Cinahl Plus, SportDiscus and several education resources amongst others. You will still be able to access their content and carry out flexible, quality searches but with a more accessible experience.
Find out about the new layout and features from EBSCOhost support guides. Subject Librarians will be ready to support students and staff following the change. Contact us with any questions.
You can create a personal account on EBSCOhost after logging in with Library login. This lets you save searches and articles and receive subject updates. The following information is for people who have an account and saved data in the existing system.
Use our access to the DSM-5 Library to access the full, current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (5 text revision) plus other useful handbooks from American Psychiatric Association.
