GALILEO: Access to Explora (EBSCO): Partially Restored, Some Issues Remain

Posted March 1, 2023 5:08 pm

Dear GALILEO Community Members with EBSCO Explora Databases (K-12, GPLS, Some academics):

GALILEO Support Services has restored access to the Explora suite of databases.

Explora users may now search, access, read, save, and print content, however, users will continue to experience some diminished functionality primarily related to sharing and saving content and using personal accounts.

Explora Issues:

  • save items to your cloud-based storage (Google, Microsoft)

  • e-mail the full text of the article to yourself
  • Error when creating a new MyEBSCOHost account: Workarounds

  • Save items to your computer or cloud-based storage
  • Accessing a MyEBSCOHost account: Workaround

  • Workarounds, for searching—Limit GALILEO Classic Search Results to Specific Databases
    All of the Explora content may be surfaced in the main GALILEO Classic or Bento search.
    Explora is designed to search multiple EBSCO databases at the same time, so It may prove helpful to limit search results to specific databases when searching in the GALILEO classic search. Here is a list of the databases each Explora database pulls content from for each Explora database:
