Most databases allow you to set-up a free account. Use this tool to help you manage your search results.
- Save search records into folders. As you search, add relevant records to a folder.
- Save your search history. You probably won't complete all of your searching in one session. Instead of writing down all of the searches that you have performed (so you don't repeat yourself later), save your search history in an account.
- Set-up search alerts. If you have developed a good search strategy, you can have the database alert you when a new article is added based on your search criteria.
