Is it possible for me to save database articles I find on one computer so I can retrieve them on another?

Answer

It depends on the database. The majority of the databases available through COM Library come from EBSCO, which enables users to save articles for later access. To do so, go into any EBSCO database and select 'Sign in', then 'Create a new account'. Create an account (it's free) and then, whenever you find an article you believe you may want to access later, click on 'Add to folder'. You can retrieve these articles from another computer by entering an EBSCO database, logging in to your account, and selecting the Folder tab at the top of the screen. You can also save articles for later retrieval in Gale databases, by following the same procedures.
