New “Visual Search” Option

The research databases provided by Ebsco* now offer a “visual search” option that will let you search and have your results presented in an interactive, visual map. You can change the style of the Result List at any time by selecting either Block style or Column style from the Display Style menu. Never lose track of your search path again; you can easily navigate back and forth through your search results.

Visual Search gives you options for different ways to group, sort, or filter your search - you can select these options at any time – before you run your search, or after, when you are viewing your results.

Use the Collect Articles area to "drag-and-drop" articles that you are interested in. Items that you "collect" will remain there for the current session, unless you remove them.

A comprehensive tutorial will open automatically when you click on the Visual Search tab in any EBSCO database, to guide you through the functionality of the new Visual Search screens.

*The Visual Search option is available using the following databases: MagillOnLiteraturePlus, Psychology & Behavioral Science Collection and the Religion & Philosophy Collection.
