sign in to Ebscohost as a new student
I can search in Ebsohost but when I need to sign in to download my regular signin (for Ottawa and Blackboard) doesn't work. Nor does it work to create an account using Google. Help please!

Hello Kathleen
If you go to the OU Portal and login with your OUID and password, you should go to the Online databases on the Gangwish Library Pages and not in Blackboard. Your OUID and password will allow you to get into our library databases to do your searches but that password has absolutely nothing to do with a Google password and id. It is separate. The Google account would be your email account and not your OUID and password. Do not confuse the two.
If your OUID and password works on Blackboard then it should get you into the OU Portal pages and you should see the Gangwish Library Page. That password allows you to get into Ebscohost which you go to when you find our Online databases page on the right hand side. You do not need to login again to get to that page for the databases if you are already in the portal.
If your OUID and password does not work, contact IT and the 24/7 Helpdesk. The library cannot help you to change of fix your OUID and password.
Thank you.
