EBSCO

The user does not create an individual account. There are two ways employees and students can access the EBSCO database. The first method involves connecting to the WSG network, in which case you do not need to log in. The second method is to use the login data provided by the Library while being connected to any network. Send a request for login data to the e-mail address biblioteka@byd.pl or come to the library in person. Remote access does not require periodic activation - the user can use remote access when using the login data provided by the Library.

About EBSCO
The EBSCO database covers a wide range of fields: scientific, technical, humanities, social, economic, business, medical and biomedical sciences. 14 databases, including 7 full-text databases containing scientific journals from various publishers, books, newspapers, and other publications.

 

ELSEVIER (ScienceDirect and Scopus)

The user creates an account on their own, using the WSG e-mail address. Remote access is possible for employees and students who have e-mail accounts in the byd.pl (employee) and student.wsg.pl (student) domains.

In the case of ScienceDirect, the user must create an individual account via the "My account" option or "Create account" in the case of Scopus. After entering the e-mail address, the account must be activated via a link sent to the e-mail address provided during registration. After clicking the link, Elsevier asks you to fill in the data (name, surname, password).

The account is common for all Elsevier products, so it does not matter whether the user registers on the ScienceDirect or Scopus website.

The above operations can be performed outside the academic network of WSG, but require the use of an e-mail address belonging to the institution's address domain, i.e. e-mail addresses: firstname.lastname@byd.pl (employee) or firstname.lastname@student.wsg.pl (student).
