A new Discovery Search is coming soon 

The new look includes search and linking improvements many of you have asked for, as well as a cleaner layout. Your existing permalinks will still work, and your saved items will still be available but there are also some new features to help you save, share and collaborate. The new look will go live on Monday 31st January 2022.  

You can see the features in this video from our Discovery search vendor, EBSCO.
