Mobile Apps: EBSCOhost

EBSCOhost databases automatically provide a mobile-friendly web interface when accessed from a mobile device. If you prefer to use an app, the EBSCOhost app is available from iTunes (for iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch) or Google Play (for Android).

1. Connect to EBSCOhost and select any database. If you're accessing the site from off-post, you'll be prompted to log in with your remote access username and password.

2. Select the "EBSCOhost iPhone and Android Applications" link:

3. Enter an email address which you can access from your device. An email with instructions, authentication key, and download links will be sent to you:

4. Access the email from your device and click the link found in the email to authenticate the application. You have 24 hours to access the key from your device to authenticate the app. If the key is not used within 24 hours, it expires and you will need a new key.
