EBSCO Databases: Using & Searching in EBSCO Databases: Tools

Research guide discussing how to use the search features of EBSCOhost databases.

Tools

Print, email, save, cite or export a single result from the Detailed Record. To print, email, save, cite or export multiple results, add them to the folder, then click the appropriate icon inside the folder. Folder contents can be permanently saved by clicking on the Sign In link, and then creating a personalized My EBSCOhost folder account at no charge. Be sure to sign in prior to saving anything to this folder. 

You can export the article to RefWorks using the Export tool. Complete directions can be found here

Cite

The cite tool provides citations for major citation styles that can be copied and pasted. Please keep in mind that these citations are computer generated and might contain errors. Always double-check citations for accuracy. 

Share Search Results

You can share a search results list with another individual or for your own future use in any EBSCO database. Simply select "Share" on the results screen, then copy the permalink listed at the bottom of the box. This URL will duplicate your search when clicked. Please note, some limiters, such as methodology, age, and gender, do not carry over with this link. 

Permalink

The permalink is a stable URL you can use to access the article in the future. This URL should be used instead of your browser URL, as that one will expire at the end of your session.
