EBSCOhost Mobile provides a convenient way for Maine citizens using mobile devices to find quality content. The main EBSCOhost Mobile screen offers a number of options including choosing which EBSCOhost database(s) to search plus setting search options and specifying preferences.

Many of the existing EBSCOhost features such as search modes, email results, limiting to full text, date ranges, peer-reviewed content or by publication are available. Users will also be able to search images from their mobile devices.
