Explora from EBSCO Now Available

EBSCO recently announced the availability of its new Explora interface. The interface can provide access to any EBSCO database, but is targeted toward K-12 and public library researchers. It seems like EBSCO is positioning it as a replacement for Searchasaurus, KidsSearch, and Student Research Center. See below for the announcement from EBSCO. We’ll work with them on details of the transition, but if you have an EBSCOadmin account and are an administrator, you can switch to the new interface right now.  

Explora is Now Available!

Reach new heights with Explora, an engaging new interface from EBSCO. Designed to meet the unique needs of its users, Explora supports both student research and classroom instruction with rich, reliable content and easy-to-use functionality.

A dedicated search interface for all of your library’s EBSCO databases, Explora offers a variety of benefits that will help students of all ages and their instructors achieve success in the classroom and beyond.

We encourage you to get started with Explora today. Account administrators can activate the new interface by logging into EBSCOadmin. For instructions, click here.

You can also visit our Explora migration support page at http://support.ebsco.com/explora for additional information, promotional materials, and links to online training sessions.

Please note that you do not have to take any action at this time. You can continue to use the existing school interfaces – Searchasaurus, Kids Search, and Student Research Center – until they are discontinued on June 30, 2015. We will be in touch soon with additional information about the migration process.
