Helpful information to get you started using the library's search tool, FindIt.

MyEBSCO account

If you are doing research, it can be useful to create a MyEBSCO account. To create a MyEBSCO account, from the search results page click the icon in the top right corner and go down to 'Create an account'.

 

Benefits:

  • Great tool to organise your research.
  • Everything you save will be saved permanantly. 
  • Don't lose track of any articles.
  • Creating a My EBSCO account allows you to save articles, searches, and your search history
  • Create projects and save records to them.

 

 A MyEbsco account is separate from your library account, so you can use your own email address and choose your password.

My Dashboard
