EBSCOhost Mobile, the interface designed for mobile users, is now available. The interface is essentially the same but access to folders and some other more advanced features has been removed. All of our EBSCO databases are accessible via EBSCOhost Mobile but they require mobile-specific URLs.

Access has been set up so that users can go to the “Choose Databases” screen or directly to individual databases. These links will be added to Databases pages on Friday. EBSCOhost Mobile can be viewed on your PC or Donna is happy to provide screenshots from the real thing.
