How do I get passwords to EBSCOhost and FirstSearch?
You have to be a WKU employee or registered student to get the passwords. However, if you come to the library we will be more than happy to help you start your research. Among the things we can show you in the library are several print sources and a few computer databases that are not available from off-campus. If you are a WKU employee or registered student, we can provide you with the authorization number and password if you provide us with the last four digits of the I.D. number on your Western I.D. card. We need this information to verify that you are a current student at Western Kentucky University before we can give you the password. To contact us, call (270) 745-6115, or e-mail web.reference@wku.edu.
