The library’s main search tool (EBSCO Discovery) and EBSCO databases underwent a user interface update on April 1, 2025. While the core functionality and resources remains the same, this update changed the look of the search interface with more modern features and new navigation.
The new interface also brought significant accessibility improvements. It is now substantially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA and is designed to work with major assistive technologies, including screen readers on various browsers. Key features include text-to-speech functionality, responsive design, simplified layout, descriptive text for images, and accessible full-text formats.
A New EBSCO User Interface Guide is available for more information, including tutorial videos, step-by-step instructions on core functions, and new features.
Please reach out to Library.Research@nic.bc.ca or make a research appointment for personalized help with the new look!
