  • If you forgot your password, you can have it reset through the "Forgot your password?" link.
  • If you don't have an account, you can create one using the "Create an account" link.

Access content that was not transferred from the old interface

Check items in your MyEBSCO account

If you previously had a personal MyEBSCO account, you’ll now access it through the new interface. Continue to use the same username and password you've previously set up.

EBSCO may not have transferred all of your MyEBSCO account content automatically to the new interface. The following were NOT transferred:

  • Custom Folders
  • Journal Alerts
  • Search Alerts

Sign in to your MyEBSCO account on the new interface to view what has been transferred over.

Sign in to your MyEBSCO account on the old interface, if needed

If you need to view the items that were NOT transferred, you can temporarily sign in to the previous interface (until June 30, 2025). 

Sign in to the old (classic) MyEBSCO interface (your MyEBSCO account credentials have not changed).

To sign in, click on the Search button below, then click on Sign In on the top right hand corner.
(please don't use this interface for searching as it is no longer maintained)

Transfer items from Custom Folders to the new MyEBSCO interface

You can manually transfer the contents of your Custom Folders.

Sign in to the previous interface (see instructions above), and then:

  1. Click on your custom folder to view contents.
  2. Click on the Select All checkbox
  3. Click on the Move To and select My Folder
  4. Repeat until all of your Articles and eBooks are moved from your custom folders to your My Folder

All contents from your My Folder should sync and appear in your new MyEBSCO account (there may be a brief time lag).

Note:

In some cases, you may see a link to Get Report within your Projects area of the new MyEBSCO account.

In this case, EBSCO is providing a downloadable Excel file that contains data about your content. As EBSCO is not migrating custom folder content, this is a way for users to retrieve this content and re-create it in the new interface.

If you do not see this option, you can still (until June 30, 2025) sign in to the old MyEBSCO account, and move custom folder contents as described above (recommended). 

Set up alerts in the new MyEBSCO interface

Search Alerts and Journal Alerts were NOT automatically transferred over by EBSCO.

To view the Alerts that have not transferred over, sign in to your old MyEBSCO account (instructions above).

You can then re-create the Alerts in the new MyEBSCO account interface:
