Starting in July 2026, EBSCO will begin a phased rollout of updates to the EBSCO Discovery Service, Explora, and EBSCOhost user interfaces. Read our Q&A with Timothy Lull, Senior Vice President of Discovery, UX & Platform Services, to learn more about what is changing and why.

The upcoming changes focus on improving navigation in the interface. Primary navigation is moving to the top of the page with more intuitive organization of features. Users will have the option to keep a left-hand filter panel open during the search process.

This update not only directly addresses feedback from customers and users regarding smoother access in the new interface, but also allows us more room to introduce new tools without adding disruptive friction or clutter.
