Together We Are EBSCO
We are committed to building a culture that operates with fairness and creates a sense of inclusion where teammates feel they belong. These guiding principles build our teams, cultivate our leaders and move our business forward. We strive to uphold these principles not only within our organization, but in the online research content we provide and in how we support our customers.
Our employees come from different backgrounds with unique experiences and beliefs. It is these differences that shape who we are both individually and collectively as a company. Our differences help push us forward, make us better individuals and make us stronger as an organization. We listen and seek to understand one another and strive to connect genuinely.
Our goal is to continuously work toward inclusivity as we believe the collective voices and actions of our employees will foster a better culture and future. We believe that by creating an inclusive workplace culture and providing all teammates opportunities to succeed, we will continue to grow as individuals and as a business.

Curating Diverse Content for Research
We believe in curating and developing diverse content within our products.
As a content provider, we review our collections for bias and develop resources that are inclusive and representative of all perspectives and communities.
We also work to provide a more equitable search experience for all customers, from libraries to medical institutions, that supports natural language searching, mapping subject headings across more than 200 languages and dialects.
Creating Positive Experiences for All
EBSCO invests time and resources to ensure our products are accessible and usable for all individuals, regardless of ability. We maintain relationships with several consultancies that periodically test and review the accessibility of our products.
Our commitment to accessibility includes conducting usability studies with visually- and physically-impaired users and testing our platforms with both JAWS and NVDA.
