Do I need a My EBSCOhost account? How do I set one up if I want one?
Answer
You do not need an My EBSCOhost account to search and use EBSCO databases.
You are able to view e-books and in most cases, save .pdf sections of individual e-books without having an account. Check out this Blog entry for quick and easy ways to save EBSCO e-book chapters as PDFs:

Note: EBSCOhost accounts are completely separate from your Antioch University account, so your AUeID log-in information will not work for My EBSCOhost.
Creating a free My EBSCOhost account will let you save your search results so that you can access them later, organize your saved search results in folders, download/borrow complete e-books and e-audiobooks, create alerts, etc: https://accounts.ebsco.com/user/create
