Creating Individual Accounts in ProQuest and Ebsco Why? Save your searches and folder items! Searches are normally deleted at the end of a browser session – if you have an account, you can save for the long-term! Create multiple folders to help you organize your research or share your folders with colleagues! Set up alerts (great for long-term research projects) – get notified when a new article matches your search terms! How? In ProQuest: Click the icon that looks like a person. Then “Sign into My Research.” ONLINE LIBRARY http://library.national.edu
