EBSCOhost interface changes in July 2008

The new EBSCOhost 2.0 interface, expected in July 2008, will feature a simplified search screen and a smarter results page. The clustering feature will be enhanced, an interactive breadcrumb trail will be added, and date limits will be controlled with a sliding bar. The new EBSCOhost interface will include a preview pane that activates when you hover over a record, as well as a more accessible folder feature. To preview the new interface with these and other enhancements, check out the flash presentation from EBSCO: ebscohost.com/2.0_flash
