EBSCOhost Passport™ is a Chrome extension designed to streamline academic research by providing instant access to full-text articles wherever you browse. Simply select your institution or library during setup to enable the extension to automatically check access permissions across websites you visit. The extension detects article DOIs on pages and displays an “E” icon indicating available access through your institution or freely available open access content.

No complicated setups are required by your institution. Users may be prompted to log in to their library account when accessing certain resources. EBSCOhost Passport™ respects user privacy by only scanning pages for DOIs and adding helpful icons and links without collecting personal data or modifying page content beyond these visual additions.

Very easy to install and it gets you to EBSCO full text that is subscribed by the institution.

This extension works well. I find it especially useful when searching PubMed because it shows me which articles are in my library. I promote it whenever I can. I hope more people find this extension and use it.

An incredibly easy tool to instantly see access that articles available from your local library... So simple to set-up and use -- just click the little "E" that appears on web pages as you browse the web! You don't even have to be affiliated with an EBSCO customer -- open access articles appear for everyone.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

EBSCOhost Passport ™ requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
