EBSCOhost Databases

Your professors will often tell you to "Use EBSCO to find articles." What exactly is EBSCO? Well, EBSCO Information Services is one of the largest privately held and family-owned companies in the United States. EBSCO quickly became a pioneer in the library services industry and a premier database in academia.

The EBSCO database tutorials below introduce the Graphical User Interface (GUI) WorkFlow researchers utilize to conduct academic research.
