EBSCO Database Interface Update – Action Required by 16 July 2025
EBSCO databases will be transitioning to a new interface on 16 July 2025. If you currently use Custom Folders or Search Alerts, please review the important information below to ensure a smooth migration.
If you’ve saved searches within Custom Folders, please move them to the “Saved Searches” section under My Folder on the current interface. This step is necessary to ensure your saved content is successfully migrated to the new interface. Guidance is available on how to manage custom folders, saved searches, and alerts.
Please note that search alerts will not be transferred to the new interface. Be sure to make a note of any active alerts you’ve set up, as you’ll need to recreate them after the migration.
See the Quick Start Guide for an introduction to the new interface.

Covidence is a web-based software platform which streamlines the process for systematic reviews (evidence synthesis). This includes title/abstract/full text screening, risk of bias assessment, data extraction and quality assessment. Covidence can help to save time on repetitive tasks in the process, enabling faster production and more time for analysis and interpretation.
This Generative AI Product Tracker lists generative AI products that are either marketed specifically towards postsecondary faculty or students or appear to be actively in use by postsecondary faculty or students for teaching, learning, or research activities. The Tracker is a living document, which we update regularly as new products enter the market or new information about existing products becomes available.
These electronic resources subscribed to by UL Library may be used within the UL network, or off-campus, by UL registered staff and students only. They can also be used by visitors within the library.
Use of these resources is for the purpose of non-commercial UL-related teaching, learning, research and administration work only. It is not permitted to facilitate database access to any other person(s) for any other purpose. Such use will breach licence terms and may leave the parties concerned, and/or users as defined above who facilitate such third party use, open to legal sanction.
Systematic downloading or retention of information from databases using robots, spiders or manual means is not permitted. Additionally, use of e-resources with generative artificial intelligence systems such as ChatGPT is not permitted. Where publishers suspect misuse in the form of systematic downloading or in the use of generative AI systems they will cut off access to resources for the whole UL community, thus depriving responsible users of access to material for their research and learning.
Off-campus access is available to all registered staff and students of UL.
