Parts of a Database Record

record has full text, email option, citation suggestion and permanent link to share

If you find an article on the Ebsco Quick Search, you have many save options, including:

  1. Create an Ebsco account and save a result to your personal Ebsco account.  You would need to setup the account from on-campus or through a proxied link that verifies that you are authorized to access the subscription through the FVTC Library. Account needs to be used at least once a year to stay active.

  2. You can print to papercut and release print on printer/copier to create paper copy. (Print citation with right side icon, 

    Follow full-text link to download or print full-text from source.

  3. My favorite: Email detailed record to yourself.  Link will get you back to cite suggestions and full text (as long as you have active MyFVTC credentials).

Save result to personal folder or print or download to device.

Where is the article I saved?  If you saved a result to a device, look in downloads folder, that is the usual default for a saved document. 
Otherwise, if you were logged into your personal Ebsco account (or Gale, or Films on Demand, etc.) , sign in and look at your folder.

My favorite is to create a folder in my email account.  Then anything I find (from anywhere) can be sent to my email and kept in that folder for later reference. When the project is done, I can delete the folder.
