About the New OneSearch

Small image of new EBSCO search interface

 

In 2025 the library implemented a revised platform for its academic search engine OneSearch (also known as EBSCO Discovery Service). Some features will be familiar but many are new, and some are more complex to use than the earlier version. The platform is also under continuous development, so features described in this guide may change. We will try to keep up with these modifications and update the guide accordingly.

Note that TWU cannot return to the old version which will be discontinued.

Start with the video tutorials and then focus on particular features described pictorially through screenshots in this guide.
