"Introduction to the New EBSCOhost - Tutorial" (3:39) is by EBSCO Tutorials 

EBSCO's new user interface went into effect on September 1, 2024, so it will take some time to develop brand-new tutorial videos. In the meantime, the team at EBSCO has developed a general EBSCO tutorial that will work for most of the library's 36 EBSCO databases, including:

  • Academic Search Complete
  • Ethnic Diversity Source
  • MasterFILE Complete
  • Newspaper Source Plus
  • OmniFile Full Text Select

While the Merced College Library doesn't have the Alt-PressWatch database, both Alt-PressWatch and Ethnic NewsWatch, which are from the ProQuest brand, work in the same way. Apply what you learn to the Ethnic NewsWatch database.
