Communication Resources: Creating Personal Folders

Go to the Databases A to Z list and find EBSCO databases under "E."

• Click on EBSCOhost databases, then choose the database or databases you want to search.
• Click on “sign in” then “create new account.”
• VERY IMPORTANT: EBSCO allows you to use a ‘folder’ feature for just one session, but you want to use your folders that stay with you from one session to another. Be sure you’ve signed in! You will know you are signed in when the yellow “My” banner shows up on the EBSCO symbol on the left side of your search screen.
• You can create folders and subfolders with whatever names you choose.
• To save a citation and/or a full-text article to a folder, click on “add to folder” from either your results list or the citation/abstract view.  You choose what folder the item goes into.
• To share a folder with someone, click on the yellow ‘folder’ icon, click on the folder you want to share, then click ‘share.’ Enter the email addresses, separated by semicolons, of the people you want to share with. Uncheck ‘restrict passcode to single use.’ The people you want to share with will get an email telling them how to get to the folder.
