credit card through the NASP website. To purchase access,

Can my school district pay the EBSCO access fee for me?
Many school districts recognize the value of the NASP EBSCO
Online Library and reimburse their school psychologists for the access fee.
Because of licensing restrictions, NASP can only accept payments from
individual NASP members.
How can I improve my search capabilities?
The NASP EBSCO Online Library contains very helpful
tutorials, available by clicking on “help” in the upper right-hand corner of
any page and selecting EBSCOhost Tutorials or individual topics from the menu on
the left.
Does NASP provide
technical support to users of the NASP EBSCO Online Library?
The EBSCOhost Tutorials are the best sources of information
on effective use of the Library. In addition, NASP publishes a quarterly
newsletter via e-mail exclusively for Library users, which provides helpful
hints on effective search strategies, featured articles, and more. NASP is
unable to provide additional technical support on conducting searches and
locating specific articles beyond these resources
Can I share EBSCO articles with my colleagues, students, or
employer?
Limited sharing of articles is acceptable (e.g., sharing one
copy of an article with a colleague or student). Articles in the Library are
copyrighted and, thus, sharing is limited just as it would be if you were to
photocopy an article from a library. Searches conducted for the benefit of
employers are prohibited when the intention is to assist the institution in
saving the cost of an appropriate institutional subscription.
Why are some articles available in full text, but not others?
Availability of full-text articles is determined by
negotiations between EBSCO Information Services and individual journal
publishers. NASP has no control over which journal articles are available in
full text.
Why is there a delay in accessing recent issues of some journals?
Some journal publishers specify that recent issues be
“embargoed” for a period of time (usually six or 12 months) before they become
available in the database.
How do I renew my access to the NASP EBSCO Online Library?
You can renew your access at any time. NASP sends reminders to NASP members before their access expires
and in the weeks following expiration.
