EBSCO Account Announcement

Use the announcement below to inform students about the benefits of setting up an EBSCO account to help them save their research in the UAGC Library as they go. Many students are unaware that by setting up an account in EBSCO, they can save articles in the library databases with a click of a button, set search alerts on their research topics, and keep track of their search history. The UAGC Library has created a tip sheet that walks them through setting up and using an EBSCO account.
