Saving Searches: Search History Toolbar and My Ebscohost

The yellow toolbar at the top provides links that allow you to print, save, and clear your search history, or to retrieve previous search histories. Many studnets find it helpful to save their search histories so that they can refer back to them at a later date.

Note: the "Retrieve Searches/Alerts" and "Save Searches/Alerts," links will take you to a log-in screen for "My Ebscohost." This free service allows you to create an account and save search results for later use. A link to log-in to your account is always underneath the Ebsco logo at the top left side of the screen.
