Library FAQs

EBSCO is the company through which the library offers many of our article databases. Users may wish to create a MyEBSCO account in order to use personalized features in the Dashboard such as saving search results or individual articles for later, organizing research using projects, viewing previous search history, and more. You will need to create a MyEBSCO account and be signed into it in order to use these personalized features. Your MyEBSCO account ensures that your saved content is available across sessions and when using different devices, while keeping your data accessible only to you. 

This account is different than your myTC3 account. 

The link How To Create and Manage a MyEBSCO Account gives instructions along with information for resetting your password. In short, click on the MyEBSCO icon on the search screen of an EBSCO database, such as CINAHL. This icon is typically in the upper right corner, though may only show a circle with a person in the center rather than saying "MyEBSCO." 

From there, you can either choose Create An Account, or simply log in if you already have an account.

You can choose to continue with Google (see Google Sign-In FAQs) or continue with account creation using an email address and filling in the required information. You must follow EBSCO's requirements for strong passwords. Please note your personal account will be locked after 10 unsuccessful login attempts, so please keep track of your password.

For assistance or questions, please Ask a Librarian. For more details about using your MyEBSCO account, please see the links from the TC3 Library available at MyEBSCO Personalized Accounts and Folders.
