Setting Up A Personal Account in Ebscohost Research Databases

You can set up your own personal account with Ebscohost Research Databases - (it's free!). Once you've done this you can:

• Save your search results - so they're still there waiting for you next time you log in
• Set up search alerts - the database will email you (or set up an RSS feed) each time new records matching your search terms are added to the database
• Create your own folders - to organise the results you've found & share your folders with other people if necessary

To set up a personal account with Ebscohost:

1. Access Ebscohost Research Databases in the usual way & go to the Advanced Search screen.
2. Click on the Sign in link (top right of the screen)
3. Untick the box for "Load preferences from My Ebscohost" & then click on the "Create a new account" link (right of screen, near the top of the page).
4. Fill in the form & click the Save Changes button to set up your account.

You can now save your searches & set up alerts by performing a search in the usual way & then clicking the Search history link (underneath the search boxes). See the Help pages in Ebscohost for further instructions.
