Q. I just did my first search, found the books I needed, and clicked on "Add to folder." Where is this folder and what do I do next?

I am assuming that you are referring to a search done in OneSearch. Most databases have a temporary "account" that is used when you login. After adding an item, look to the right of your screen for a small box with a gold header that says "Folder Has Items" (NOTE: The color may change in the future). Whatever you add will remain there until you close your window. To keep things longer, you must create your own account (free). To do this, go the black menubar at the top and look to the right side and click "Sign In." You can create the account their with whatever ID and password you prefer. There is no time limit for articles kept in your personal folder.

To interact with the articles you selected, click "Folder View." Click the check box of the items and look to the right of the screen for emailing, saving, or exporting. You can create your own folders and organize your files with your personal account.

I hope this is answering your question. If not, please let us know or call the reference desk at 281-649-3180.
