A-Z List Database Descriptions - First Aid Forward
We know everyone does their A-Z List a little differently, and we're here to help provide a description that works for you and your users.
To provide the clearest instructions to users, we recommend copying Access First Aid Forward to your own LibGuides and then linking to the guide in your A-Z list description. See A-Z List (with LibGuide) below.
If you if you don't have LibGuides, or prefer not to copy our LibGuide, you can simply add descriptions to your A-Z List instead. See A-Z List (without LibGuide) below.

- Copy https://mheducation.libguides.com/c.php?g=1343202&p=10795540 to your own LibGuides.
- Add the descriptions below to your A-Z list
- Change the link for "these instructions" to the copy of Access First Aid Forward you just added to your own LibGuides
- If your institution subscribes to both Step 1 and Step 2, add each description as a separate entry: your users will create one First Aid Forward account, but will need to activate access for Step 1 and Step 2 separately
