Saving your searches on PsycINFO/ PsycARTICLES...

...means that you won't need to duplicate effort by repeating your searches the next time you log on. To be able to save searches for the future, you will need to set yourself up for a free 'My EBSCOHost' account:
  1. Click on 'Sign in to My EBSCOHost' (at the top of the PsycINFO /PsycARTICLES screen).
  2. Choose to 'Create a new account'.
  3. Fill out the short form, and you're done!
As well as being able to save searches (via the 'search history' option, once signed in), you can also set up folders to save articles you have found and create personal preferences (such as how results are displayed). Other extra functionality you will gain includes being able to set up email or RSS alerts (for when new articles are published which match saved searches) and being able to share folders with other users. And the best thing of all, is that this extra functionality is all available to you for free by following the very simple account creation instructions above. As ever, do get in touch with me if you have any questions.
