Why you’d use it:

Accessing EBSCOhost Off Campus
To use EBSCO products from off campus, you’ll need a My EBSCO account.
Create your account while on campus if possible.
If you’re off campus, you can Ask Digby for help setting up your account.
When accessing EBSCO resources off campus:
Go to the A–Z Databases list on the library website. Select one of the EBSCO databases. Or access EBSCOhost all.
You’ll be prompted to identify your institution—type South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (or simply SDSMT) and select it from the dropdown list.
Sign in using your campus email address and your My EBSCO password.
If you forget your password, you can request a one-time code to reset it and regain access to EBSCOhost.
Once logged in, you can search and use EBSCO databases just as you would on campus.
