FAQ: How do I save searches in EBSCO?

EBSCO databases and the Multi-Search allow you to save their searches for later use. In order to use this feature, you must create or sign into your My EBSCOhost account.

To save searches in EBSCO:

1. Sign into your My EBSCOhost account.
2. Run a search and view your search results.
3. Click the "Search History" link, then click the "Save Searches/Alerts" link. The "Saved Search/Alerts" section will appear on your screen. If you have not signed in to My EBSCOhost, you will be prompted to do so. 

4. In the "Save Search As" field, select one of the following:

   • Saved Search (Permanent)
   • Saved Search (Temporary 24 hours)
   • Alert - If you selected Alert, additional fields are available. For more information, see How do I create search alerts in EBSCO?
     
5. To save the search, click "Save" and you will be returned to the Search History/Alerts Screen.

You can retrieve your saved searches from the "Search History/Alerts Screen" by clicking on "Retrieve Searches".
