To get started, you will need to have the following:

 

You can access EBSCOhost on your computer through a web browser, such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari or you can use the EBSCO Mobile app.

 

 

Download the App

 

EBSCO mobile requires Apple iOS 11.0 or later or Android 5.0 and up. The app provides access to all of the EBSCO databases that the library subscribes to.

 

Access the app:

  • Choose to search for your library or use your location.
  • You will need to give EBSCO permission to check your library card in the Library’s system. 
  • Provide your Patron ID (library card number) and enter it without any spaces.

 

Using a Computer

 

After logging on, you can select to do a basic search by entering your search terms into the search bar.  If you want to add filters to your search, do so by using the Advanced Search feature.

 

Select from the available Search Options:

  • Search modes: Use specific search modes, such as “Find all my search terms,” or “SmartText Searching,” or use search options that expand your search such as “Apply related words.”
  • Limit your results: such as Full Text or Publication type.
  • Special Limiters: Apply limiters specific to a database. If you select a special limiter, it is applied only to the database under which it appears.

 

Accessing your research:

  • After conducting a search, a list of results will be displayed, sorted by relevance. Click on an article of interest to read it, or select the PDF option if available.
  • If a PDF is available, you can browse the entire issue that contains the article using the toolbar located on the left side of the screen.
  • From your results, you can add articles to your folder for printing, emailing, saving, or exporting for later use.
