No.16: Managing EbscoHost search results (Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO)
Select citations from search results
After performing a search, 50 items are displayed per page by default. To select citations from your results, select Add to folder, located below each reference. To display only those chosen references, go to Folder View.
Print, email, or save results
In the Folder View area, you can print, email, save or perform a direct export to bibliographic software. The default is 150 items. You should always Remove items from folder after printing, emailing, saving or exporting.
To export to RefWorks, select Direct Export to RefWorks. To export to EndNote, select Direct Export to EndNote, Procite, CITAVI, or Reference Manager.
Manage custom folders
You can also copy the citations to a folder to look at later. You can customise each folder name, and nesting of folders is allowed.
You can create as many levels of folders and sub-folders as you like. However, only four levels of folders and sub-folders are displayed at one time. Any folders below that will display at level four.
To use Custom Folders, you must log in to your personal account via My EbscoHost. In the Folder View area, create a new folder by selecting New for My Custom folder. Specify the folder name, for example Migraine.
To display the references in the customised Migraine folder, select Articles.
