The company that hosts most of our databases, EBSCO, has released a new version of its mobile app.
Formerly, our online research guides and help pages mentioned the EBSCO app with a brusque warning, “not recommended,” as it severely lacked the functionality of EBSCO’s online database platform. Now, however, a new version of the app is available. What’s more, EBSCO has made it the preferred way to read electronic books from our eBook collections on your mobile device.
We are working to familiarize ourselves with the new app and to update our eBook help guide and other documentation. In the meantime, be aware that you are no longer required to download Adobe Digital Editions to read eBooks on your mobile device, but can instead both search for eBooks and read them right in the new EBSCO mobile app.
Adobe Digital Editions is still necessary to read downloaded eBooks on your desktop.
You can acquire the new app for both Android and Apple devices from EBSCO’s mobile app page.
