Overview

As part of our transition to an EBSCO-hosted library system, you may see a prompt to continue personalized when searching the library's databases. Starting December 9, 2024, this account will also serve as your library account.

Key Benefits of MyEBSCO Accounts:

  • Check out physical materials from the library (beginning December 9, 2024).
  • Save searches and articles for future use.
  • View search history across sessions.
  • Download eBooks and place holds on catalog items.

What Information Is Collected?

To create your MyEBSCO account, EBSCO collects:

  • Your first and last name
  • Your SNHU email address
  • Your SNHU ID

This minimal information is used only to manage and secure your account.


Can I Skip This Prompt?

  • If you do not consent to creating an account, it won’t be created.
  • You can still use most EBSCO features anonymously, but some functionality (e.g., saving items or requesting physical materials) won’t be available.
  • The prompt will reappear during future logins or when using features requiring an account.

Accessing Patron Empowerment Features Without a MyEBSCO Account

Users who choose not to create a MyEBSCO account will not have access to Patron Empowerment Features in EBSCO Discovery Service (Multi-Search), such as:

  • Placing holds on physical materials.
  • Viewing due dates for checked-out items.
  • Renewing checked-out materials.

If you need assistance with these features, the library team is happy to help. Simply reach out to shapirolibrary@snhu.edu for support.
