Research App for your Mobile Device

Interested in doing research from your iPhone?
You can download the EBSCOhost App from iTunes and search the library's largest journal database on your handheld device!

This following is the easiest way to access this collection of newspapers, journals, and magazines from your mobile device. Please remember, it must be set up from an on-campus computer and you must have your device with you.

1. From an on-campus computer go to: http://search.ebscohost.com/
2. Scroll down to the last option, ebscohost mobile, and click on that link.

3. Choose the last option "Ebscohost iPhone and Android applications". This will prompt you to enter your email address to get a link and an authentication code. EBSCO will send a code to your email address.

4. Then open the email from EBSCO on your device! The email will provide you with two steps – 1.) links to download the app and 2.) an authentication key to click or tap on. This will bring you directly into the application. Please do this within 24 hours or it will expire.

You are now good to go for nine months after which you will have to get a new authentication key. Please do not hesitate to ask for help in setting up your device or using this collection.
