What are EBSCOhost folders and how are they used?

By default, EBSCOhost's folder feature is session based. The folder is a temporary location in which 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, perform the following:

1. Click Sign In located in the upper right corner of the EBSCOhost screen
2. Click Create a New Account and complete the form
3. Click Save Changes

This feature allows you to create a personal area within EBSCOhost to store favorite articles, searches, etc. Please note that the creation of a username and password for My EBSCOhost does not allow you to bypass the normal process of obtaining access to library resources. Instead, it provides an optional secondary login for those who wish to have access to personalization features.
