EBSCO has journal, magazine, and newspaper articles, eBooks, and videos.

Kish students and staff should access library resources at the Library's website.

• Go to the section "Looking for library resources."
• Access EBSCO directly using the "list of online databases" which is an A-Z list of databases. You can choose individual EBSCO databases from the A-Z database list such as Academic Search Complete, Business Source Elite, GreenFILE, CINAHL, Health Source Nursing Academic, etc.
• If you go to the E section of the A-Z Database Guide, you can select to search all of the EBSCO databases at one time by linking to the "EBSCOhost Combined Search of All EBSCO Databases."  
• If you are off campus or not authenticated, you will be prompted to log in with your Kish credentials on a Kish College Login Screen. Type your full Kish email address as your username, then enter your Kish password.
