Some of your favorite databases have moved!

If you use any of the Wilson databases (e.g., Education Full Text, General Science Full Text, etc.), you’ll be surprised to find that they now look different:
Visual representation of migration from old interface (Wilson) to new interface (EBSCO)
That’s because these databases are now owned by EBSCO. All of the content is the same but the interface has changed.
So how does this affect you? Well, if we did our part right, this should not affect your research in any way! You will only need to update your bookmarks and transfer your “My WilsonWeb” information to a new “My EBSCOhost” account by February 1, 2012. (For more information about “My EBSCOhost,” please visit support.ebscohost.com.) Otherwise, all of the functionality will remain the same and it will be business as usual.
If you run into any issues, please do not hesitate to contact Prof. Allie Verbovetskaya at averbovetskaya@citytech.cuny.edu.

netlibrary has moved to EBSCO eBook Collection

Over the summer, netLibrary ebooks were migrated to EBSCOhost. The new collection is called EBSCO eBook collection.These ebooks can not be used on devices and Ebsco, as far as I know, has no plans to adapt them. To peruse the book online, there no need to do anything special. To download the book, the user has to login with their EBSCOhost individual account. A download is essentially a loan of an ebook–the ebook is available for a specific number of days as indicated when you download. 
The downloaded file is read using Adobe Digital Editions, a free ebook reader from Adobe. Here is a tutorial on how to download ebooks from Ebsco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAbmmu94I0g
FYI, if you click on a link in CUNY+ or Find It, the link will bear the name of the previous product, netLibrary, but forward successfully to EBSCO eBook Collection at the title level.
