Creating Folders

In EBSCOhost there are free research folders available.  In the upper right of the Basic Search or Advanced Search screens, you may see the phrase "Sign In." Click on Sign In. You can create a folder to save research to while using EBSCOhost. Users create their own free account, there is not an administrative login. Each database vendor will require a separate account (ProQuest, EBSCO, Gale, etc.)

It is important to note databases may create temporary folders while you search. However, in order to save resources to view later on, you need to sign in to that databases folder area.
