FAQs

EBSCOhost has a useful folder feature that will help you organize your research. ​The folders are session-based by default (look for the folder icon at the top of the page). The folder is a temporary location to store articles for printing, saving, or emailing during the research session underway. It is not a means of long-term storage and is automatically emptied upon exit from EBSCOhost.

To use folders for long-term storage from one research session to another, you must first create a personal account and sign in to a feature known as My EBSCOhost. To create a personal account in My EBSCOhost:

1. In EBSCOhost, select the MyEBSCO link in the upper right corner of the EBSCOhost screen.
2. Click on the Sign in to MyEBSCO button in the box that will appear.
3. Select Projects from the My dashboard menu.

Please note that you must log in to this account each time you access EBSCOhost; you won't automatically be logged in when accessing EBSCOhost.

Here is how you can add articles to a project:

1. Make sure you are logged in to your account by clicking on MyEBSCO in the upper right corner. If you are signed in, you will see your name.
   Tip: You should always log in first to ensure that your saved articles will be available the next time you log in to your account.
2. Search for articles on your topic.
3. Click on the folder icon in the upper right corner to add the article to a project. You can create different projects to hold articles from multiple searches/topics.

Here is how you can view articles in a folder/project:

1. Log in to your My EBSCOhost account.
2. Click on the Projects link in the My Dashboard menu.
3. The articles you have saved will be listed in the center of the page.
