July 1st – PsycINFO Moving to EBSCO
On July 1st, the Library’s subscription to PsycInfo will be switching from Ovid to EBSCO. The new interface is already available for you to begin using.
If you are a frequent user of PsycInfo and have any saved searches or alerts, you will need to log in to your account and take a screenshot of your saved searches or print them out for future reference, as they will be unavailable beginning on July 1. Similar to Ovid, EBSCO allows you to create a personal account and save searches performed in its databases.
Our EBSCO video tutorials on creating an account, saving a search, and retrieving a saved search in will help you get started.

OneSearch Tool Makes Finding Information Easy
We all know how simple searching with Google can be. Sometimes you just need a quick answer. The Library’s new OneSearch tool is modeled on the ease of searching with Google. It lets you search over 50 different databases to uncover multiple types of library resources: scholarly articles, books, reviews, images, and more. The OneSearch tool is located in the upper right-hand corner of the Library’s website.
It’s important to remember when using OneSearch that you are not searching “everything.” For help on doing a more complicated and comprehensive search, contact the librarian for your school or request a consultation.
