New folder option available for CINAHL!!

The CINAHL (Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health) database is provided on the EBSCO platform. My EBSCOhost is a tool available in EBSCO to manage items collected and saved during a search session. (You must sign up for a free EBSCOhost account first.)

My EBSCOhost allows you to:
  • save your search results

  • save journal and search alerts (Have a journal's table of contents emailed to you!)

  • save a search strategy

  • save links and Web pages

How will personalized folders help you?
You now have the ability to create multiple folders to organize and store your items. "The multiple folder option gives users the ability to create numerous folders, each on a particular topic, for example, in which various results can be sorted and stored. Users customize the name of each folder and determine which folders nest within other folders, to maximize efficiency when managing saved items."



For more help, call the Library at 660-1100 and ask to speak with a librarian. We're happy to help!
