Important information for MyEBSCO account holders
If you created a MyEBSCO account to save and organise your research, please note that saved articles and saved searches will be migrated to the new EBSCOhost interface, but search alerts, journal alerts, persistent links to searches and custom folders will not be migrated.

We encourage you to make a record of your searches and journal alerts before the 28th July if you wish to recreate them on the new platform. For custom folders, please visit the How can I download the data from MyEBSCO custom folders in the classic EBSCO interfaces help page for details on how to download a report and use it to recreate your custom folder content on the new EBSCOhost interface. Please note that this feature will only be available until 31st December 2025.

New platform for Emerald Insight and ICE Virtual Library

Emerald and Silverchair have partnered to launch an updated and improved version of Emerald Insight, which will now include the ICE Virtual Library. Starting from July 21, 2025, Emerald will be migrating content from both Emerald Insight and the ICE Virtual Library to this new platform. Links will automatically redirect, ensuring minimal impact on access to resources.

Users with existing Emerald or ICE accounts will have their accounts migrated and consolidated. They will need to reset their passwords the first time they log in after the new platform is launched.
