In EBSCOhost and other library databases, you can save documents and searches to a folder. By saving the documents in a folder, you are able to: quickly access the document for later use; e-mail the documents; save the documents as a file; export documents.

Here is how you add a document to a folder in EBSCOhost:

  1. First, create/sign in to your My EBSCOhost account.
  2. Next, begin searching for information on your research topic
  3. Save items to your folder in a variety of ways:
    • Save one item- Click the folder icon Picture of a folder iconto the right of the item’s title. Only the item selected will be added to your folder. When the item is added, the folder icon will change to a folder item icon Picture of a folder item icon
