 n. b. If a patron has created a folder in which articles are kept, in order to have access to the folder, the
patron needs to login using the same link as was used when the folder was created.
 EBSCOhost is a collection of databases to which DeVry University has subscribed.
 The EBSCOhost collection includes any database on the page (http://library.devry.edu/library-databases.html)
which contains the word Ebsco in brackets after the name of a specific database; e. g., eBooks by EBSCOhost
[Ebsco].
 This tutorial will show two ways in which a patron will be able to login to the EBSCOhost collection: through
a specific database or through the EBSCOhost main link.
