EBSCOhost Passport

Once you have installed the extension and chosen Saint Louis University Libraries as your institution, browse the web and look for the “E icons” in-context on the page or on the right-hand side:

•   Indicates access from SLU Libraries in an EBSCO Database (will direct you to access on EBSCOhost)

•   Indicates access from SLU Libraries' publisher-subscribed content (will direct you to access on the Publisher’s website)

•   Indicates the article is Open Access (will direct you to the preferred Open Access version via Unpaywall)

When you click on an icon, you will be brought to the best full text access URL available from SLU Libraries (you may be asked to log in).

When you click on the "E" icon to access full text, you may be prompted to log-in one of two ways:

• You will be prompted directly to sign-in with your SLU Okta ID 
• Or, you will see an EBSCO page where you can click "Sign In." You will then be directed to SLU's Okta ID login page.

You will not need to sign-in for either of the following circumstances:

• You have already authenticated in your current browser session
• You have clicked on an Open Access link

Once you've installed EBSCOhost Passport and selected Saint Louis University Libraries as your library, the "E" icon will display on websites where both of the following are true:

•  A DOI is listed on the page
• Full-text access is available via SLU Libraries or Open Access

Occasionally, the icon will not appear for these reasons:

• The article is very new, and the DOI was only recently registered
• There is an unknown error

Please report any problems or questions to the library using our Report a Problem Form, linked below.
