How can I change the default results display in EBSCOhost databases?

You can change the default results display for EBSCOhost databases for your users as follows:

Log into EBSCOadmin
Ensure that the profile selected in 'Choose Profile' is 'EBSCOhost Research Databases'
Click the 'Viewing Results' tab
Scroll down to 'Result List View' and choose an option from the dropdown list. Select 'Detailed' to include abstracts in the results display.

It is worth bearing in mind that this view can result in your end users needing to scroll a lot more through results.

Your users will still be able to choose a different display option when viewing the results list.

More information is available in the FAQ on the EBSCO Connect website.
