EBSCO, the suite of multi-disciplinary and niche databases, offers a mobile interface for most of its research databases. Using Ebsco Mobile, you can find articles on general topics (Academic Search Complete) or on specific subjects such as business (Business Source Complete), education (ERIC), history (Historical Abstracts), literature (MLA International), nursing (CINAHL), and psychology (PsycINFO).
Simply go to your favorite EBSCO database as you normally would in your mobile device's browser or click one of the links above. EBSCO will recognize that it's a mobile device and direct you to the mobile site. No download required!
More information can be found on the Ebsco support site.
The ACM Digital Library is compilation of the articles and conference proceedings in computer science, information technology, and related areas published by the Association for Computing Machinery. If you don't already have one, you'll need to create a free account at http://0-dl.acm.org.olinkserver.franklin.edu/dl.cfm. (If prompted to login for access, use your myFranklin credentials.)
Download the free app at either Google Play or iTunes, and sign in with your ACM account information. This sign in will last for 6 months, after which you will need to login again on the main web version above.
ArticleSearch is a free iOS app that offers a search interface to results in Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic Search. With the free version of the app, you can choose one additional article search engine, such as Worldcat, to add to your search results. Additional search engines can be added by purchasing up to 3, up to 7 or unllimited versions of ArticleSearch.
Numbers of results returned from each search engine are displayed within the app; once you choose a particular results set that you wish to access, you will be taken out of the app and into the native web site such as Google Scholar or Worldcat.
We think it is really fun to shake our phone to clear search results and start over. But we are easily amused.
Want access to the full text of articles you discover through ArticleSearch? There are a number of ways to make sure your mobile device have access:
No app needed; simply go to Google Scholar. To customize your Google Scholar settings, under settings area at the top of the screen, go to Library Links on the left side. Add Franklin University, and OhioLINK if desired to your preferences. You will still need to log in to access e-books and databases when off-campus.
