Features
EBSCOhost is a collection of many databases hosted on the same online platform using the same operating system. Thus, when you learn to use one EBSCO database, you can apply those skills to other EBSCO databases.
Although you can read and print from this collection without creating an account, some value-added features - such as downloading and note taking require that you create an account and sign in.
NOTE: If you have good internet access you don't need to check it out at all. Just view eBooks online.
