[Eril-l] EBSCO New UI

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

We migrated just at the beginning of the summer. We had to push to wait that long, citing the many features that expert searchers depended on that were not yet available earlier in the year. We're still on many many enhancement requests for upgrades that we would like to see. I've attached a document of the enhancement requests we've been tracking if you'd like to look through that. (It's not very nice looking as it was a quick copy/paste.) The enhancement requests are prioritized based on how many customers are requesting that feature, so it really helps to put your name in to whatever enhancement requests you'd like to see happen. When you request an enhancement request via Support, you're not told when it's planned for. It's best to check the Roadmap or to check in with your EBSCO contact to see if they have a timeline. Some enhancement requests that we're on are just being considered as EBSCO gathers more feedback.

EBSCO is quite responsive to feedback, but there is a lack of communication about when updates are made that can be frustrating. I would highly recommend joining this very active listserv if you haven't already: "EDS_Partners (new group)" <grp-edspartners at ebscoind.onmicrosoft.com>. There are other libraries on there that share tips and tricks as well as EBSCO people, and sometimes I can get feedback about an issue there more quickly than I can from Support.

Let me know if you have any more questions I can help with!

Hi all,



Has anyone had experience migrating to the new EBSCO UI for their databases? Our switchover is scheduled for the end of this month and our subject specialists have raised a number of issues with the new platform. Does anyone have experience with how quickly updates are made to the new UI?



Thanks,

Denis
