Why does the EBSCOhost Mobile interface look different when I view it on my Mac or PC?
The EBSCOhost Mobile interface has been optimized for use on a mobile device with a smaller screen. When this interface is viewed on a normal sized computer screen, the interface will appear stretched with fewer features available than the standard EBSCOhost interface.
Does EBSCOhost Mobile usage count against a simultaneous user seat limit in EBSCOhost databases?
Yes. If a user is accessing an EBSCOhost database which has a seat limitation, that usage does count against the limitation.
