EBSCO Resources via Mobile Devices

EBSCO have now released an Android App along with their existing iPhone App.
 
To register for the service you need to access an EBSCO service via a normal login route, either on or off campus.
 
At the bottom of the database / search screen is a link to the Android  / IPhone registration page.
 
Enter your email address
 
You will then receive an email which you must open on your mobile device.
 
The first step is to download and install the appropriate App from one of the two links given.
 
Then activate access via the link in the email and the App will open and show your preferred search interface.
 
If you want to switch to a different search interface eg from EBSCO Research Databases to Discover, then you will need to access that service from a normal browser on your PC or mobile device and reregister the link at the bottom of the page of that service. You do need to do this each time unless you are reusing the existing email authentication link within 24 hours.
 
Any queries please ask!
