Many of our databases offer the ability to set-up your own personal accounts with them, separate from your HCC library account. In most cases, doing this is highly recommended as a personal account may allow you to save and organize your research between sessions and to use special features offered by the platform - like AI tools! You can learn more about the process to set-up your personal accounts in JSTOR, Ebsco, ProQuest, Learning Express Library, and Dynamic Health. These are just a few, look for personal account options in all databases!
