Saving articles as you find them when you search will make your life so much easier, and in some databases like Ebsco, you can save to your own folder or personal Ebsco account within the database. So much better than having 12 tabs open! Even if an article is a 'maybe,' just save to your folder and then decide if you want to read it later. 

In any Ebsco database (Academic Search Premier, Business Source Complete, CINAHL, Medline, etc.), you will have access to the same Ebsco account. Click the Sign In link at the top right of the screen:

 

 

You can create an Ebsco account, or you can Continue with Google and use your Belmont Google account credentials to sign in. 

 

Once you're signed in you will see your name in the top right of the screen:

 

When you're signed in, to add articles to your folder, simply click on the folder icon next to each article title. It will become yellow when you click on it, indicating that the article is now in your folder:

 

The next time you sign in to your Ebsco account/folder, the articles will be there!
