  3. Create your new account. You'll see a button or link that says "Create an account." Click on that.
    4. Create EBSCO account
  4. Fill out the form with your preferred email. Here's the important part: Use any valid email address you like. It doesn't have to be your school email, and it won't be linked to your library account.
