<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6">In light of the upcoming migration to the new EBSCOhost UI for databases, you might want to do some searches for EBSCO content in Primo. Although subscribed EBSCO collections can be
activated in Alma for link resolving, EBSCO does not allow Primo VE users to search your EBSCO-provided databases’ content or indexing directly. This is because the two platforms do not share their indexing with (essentially the reverse of the challenges we
currently have linking to ProQuest content from within EBSCO). You may see references to setting up a separate scope in Primo VE using the EBSCOhost API, but there are known limitations to this approach and consensus within some consortia that users don’t
find it particularly useful. <a href="https://www.carli.illinois.edu/products-services/i-share/alma/EBSCO-API">
CARLI libraries</a> who took that approach have stopped using it. Access to the full indexed content of EBSCO resources, will still require linking to the EBSCOhost platform through your A-Z database list, LibGuides, etc.
