The Ebsco platform will have a new interface in December 2025/January 2026.

Why?

The new updated platform reflects what users need - a clear, comprehensive and easy to use interface.

What do I need to do?

Most of your saved searches will transfer automatically to the new interface.

Which of my saved MyEbsco folder items will NOT be transferred to My Dashboard  in the new interface?

Any items saved to custom or shared folders, in addition to the following items in your general MyEbsco folder, are not available in My Dashboard.

• Companies
• Webpages
• Journal Alerts
• Search Alerts
• Persistent Link to Searches
• Notes
• Pages
• Other Content Sources

How can I download the data from MyEbsco custom folders in the classic Ebsco interface?

Please note that you have until December 31, 2025 to download your data.

1. Sign into the new Ebsco interface with your MyEbsco account

2. Click Projects under the left-hand Dashboard navigation bar. 

Note: if the Dashboard is set to collapsed by default, click the arrow to expand it.

3. On the Projects screen, click the Get Report button to begin the creation of the Excel file for your content.

Note: that all folders are tied to a user profile and Lakehead's institutional ID. If you have custom folders in a different group or profile, you will need to access and download those separately.

4. Once the file is ready for download, click the Download Report button.

5. The Excel file will be downloaded to your browser's downloads folder with the filename: Ebsco_folder_report.xlsx. Each custom folder will appear as a separate tab (worksheet) within the Excel file, unless you have over 255 custom folders, then they will all appear on the 1st tab (due to a worksheet limitation in Excel).
