The {ital S}-wave scattering length for the {eta}{ital N} elastic scattering is extracted from the {ital S}-wave {ital T} matrix in a three-coupled-channel, multiresonance unitary model. Results are compared with values already reported in the literature which are obtained on the basis of simpler models, usually single-resonance--no background. The dispersion among the previously published values of the real part of the {ital S}-wave scattering length is observed. We show that the {eta}{ital N} scattering length value obtained in single-resonance--no background models significantly increases if a background term is added in a unitary way. We question the reliability of previously reported values based only on the single-resonance--no background models, and demonstrate that the value of the {eta}{ital N} {ital S}-wave scattering length obtained in this publication is much more realistic because of the multiresonance and unitary approach.
