The Embase (EMED) Database is being reloaded to implement the 2024.01 Thesaurus Tool.
We expect it to be live on Monday July 15, 2024. Alerts will be run on the weekend of July 13, 2024, prior to the reload.

Changes in the new thesaurus
Release notes

3 Deleted Fields:

• arXiv Identifier (AV)
• Related Item Information (RI)
• Grant Information (GI)

Elsevier, the publisher of Embase, is going to change the data feed for Embase later this year. In the new feed, the “Grant Information” (GI) and “Related Item Information” (RI) data will no longer be available. Therefore the GI/RI field-sets will no longer display with the upcoming reload and supporting details will also be removed from the Ovid Embase database guide.

On June 25th 2024 the Discovery MUNI service will be updated to a new version. This will affect also related services as Publication Finder and Full text Finder. The most visible change will affect the visual style of the services, there will be a few new features and the MyEBSCO folder will be partly migrated to a new one called Dashboard.

Changes:

• new look and feel, better support for mobile devices
• a new way of working with the filters
• a conceptual map as a new feature
• permanent links created simply by copying a URL
• new user personal folders

Please note: some of the user personal folders will not be migrated. Users are asked to backup these separately and then sort them into so-called Projects in the new interface. This will affect especially all of the My Custom folders, and also a several folders under the default My Folder. Please check the https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/Using-the-Dashboard?language=en_US for details and the list of the folders that will not be migrated.
