We now will look at options for saving searches in CINAHL. We have accessed
the Results for Chloroquine AND Pyrimethamine AND Sulfadoxine search. We
now will click on the Add hyperlink for 5 articles. We have placed these citations in
the default MY Folder. Finally, we will click on the Go to: Folder View hyperlink.
Note: you also have the option to Remove results from the Folder.
From the My Folder: Articles display, the 5 saved
articles are noted. In this folder, you can
Select/deselect all and Delete (individual) Items. We
will go to the My Custom option and click on New to
create a folder to store the articles permanently.
Note also the Print, E-Mail, Save and Export icons.
In the Create New Folder page, we
will add Chloroquine+ as a new
Folder Name and click on Save.
Returning to My Folder, we will Select all the articles and
click on the Move To/Chloroquine+ option. This will move
the 5 articles to the My Custom/Chloroquine folder.
Note that you have Delete Items, Copy To and Move to
options for the citations in the original My Folder: Articles list.
Note that we now have 0 result list items in your
My Folder: Articles with all the citations now in
the Chloroquine+ folder under My Custom.
This slide describe how to use the Printing, Emailing
Saving and Exporting References Buttons available in
CINAHL. We will look at these options.
To print your results, click on the printer icon. Choose from the printing options
suggested. You can choose to remove items from folder after printing if you want.
Then click to print.
To email, click on the mail icon. There are some similar options regarding the format.
Fill out the email information and once done click on “Send”.
To save the references to a separate file, click on the disk icon. Again there are some
similar format options here. You can also choose to include HTML links to articles in
the saved file. Once the selections have been made click on Save.
While saving, emailing and printing search results can be useful in their own ways, if
you have a citation management tool such as EndNote or RefWorks it makes for easy
manipulation of these references in the future. If you want to export to a citation
manager use the export icon and select the citation manager that you have access to.
We have opened the Chloroquine Articles folder and
