Helpful Features
Ebsco databases will display the same option as Start Your Research for saving a search and setting up Search and Journal alerts. The Create Alert option shows up on the right corner of the search results after you run a keyword search, look for the three dots icon. This feature does require that you sign into MyEBSCO in the top right corner. A pop-up may also display to prompt you to log in.
The Share feature was a feature that provided a permalink to the entire search in order to get back to the search you've spent time building, share it with classmates, share it with faculty.
That feature is no longer needed as now all Ebsco databases work off the url from the browser url.
Ebsco databases will offer the Share feature as well.
Because Start Your Research searches multiple database simultaneously, it's a great place to figure out a good search string. Once you figure out appropriate keywords for your research, you can take the keywords you've identified for your topics and run searches in any subject databas, as most search off boolean operators..
The search below after it's rerun using the Share permalink will look like this. It removes the multiple search boxes and replaces them with parenthesis. Now it's ready to cut/copy and paste into whatever library database you use moving forward.
("young adults" OR teen* OR adolescen*) AND ("social media" OR instagram) AND ("mental health" OR "psychological health")
Clicking the All Filters button will show you an option to view Content Provider, which mean the list of databases your keywords were searched against. It'll show a short list of the top databases, but you can click the + to see the entire list.
