Connect to Library Resources

The EBSCOhost Passport browser extension allows for easy access to full-text articles by inserting links to online library collections in any web page where two criteria are met: DOIs are present and the user has access to the article through library subscriptions or Open Access availability. It incorporates authentication preferences and adjusts the links accordingly--meaning that you will be routed to UD's subscription content.

To install EBSCOhost Passport do the following:

• Open Chrome or Microsoft Edge (other web browsers are expected to have the tool soon). Use the relevant link below to download and install:

  • EBSCOhost Passport ™ - Google Chrome Extensions

  • EBSCOhost Passport ™ - Microsoft Edge Addons

• When installing, select the University of Dayton option when prompted to identify your institution.

To use EBSCOhost Passport:

• Once you have installed the extension and chosen UD, simply browse the web and look for the following “E icons” next to citations and search results:

  •  Indicates full-text access from UD in an EBSCO Database. 

  •  Indicates full-text access from UD's subscription content. These links will direct you to publisher websites such as ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Wiley Online Library, etc.

  •  Indicates the article is Open Access and will direct you to the preferred Open Access version via Unpaywall.
