Creating personal accounts in the Library’s databases is not necessary to access the database content. A number of Library databases do give you the option of creating accounts. But why bother creating accounts if you can access the content without them? There are a number of benefits to creating personal database accounts, particularly within databases you frequently utilize. Personal database accounts may allow you to save and organize resources, retrieve your search history, set up various alerts, and more.
This page will explain why you may want to set up an account within each of the Library databases. It will also detail how to set up each personal account should you choose to do so.

When accessing NavigatorSearch or any of the Library's EBSCOhost databases, a NEW MyEBSCOhost account will be automatically created for you using your university email address and password.

In order to access NavigatorSearch and EBSCOhost databases as well as manage your personal accounts, you should consent to EBSCO's Personal Data Retention and Usage policy. You will be presented with a consent form when accessing NavigatorSearch or EBSCOhost databases for the first time. You may choose to withdraw consent but note that you cannot use any of the personalization features offered with a MyEBSCOhost account. You will also need to withdraw consent each time you access these resources as your personal information is not stored to remember this setting. More information is available in this FAQ.
