Q: How do I link to or save database search results?
Answer
Most databases have a way to save searches, but some require creating an account (Free!) with the database company. For assistance contact a librarian.
SuperSearch and EBSCO Databases
You can also make a personal account with EBSCO so you can save articles to a personal folder.
Look for the Sign In button at the top of any EBSCO database such as the library SuperSearch.
Create a new account to be able to save your search history.
Proquest Databases
In a Proquest database (ex: Research Library) you must create a Proquest Research account to save your searches.
After entering a search there is an option below the search box and to the far right called "Save search/alert." Click on it and select "Save Search".
You will be prompted to sign in or create a Proquest Research account if you do not have one.
After creating your account you will then name your search.
SAGE Databases
SAGE requires a SAGE journals account to save searches.
Click on "Sign in" at the top and then complete the registration process under the "Register for a New Account" area.
After entering a search, click on the Search Tab at the top and then Search History. Find the search you want to save and click on "Add to Saved Searches."
