8. Save Citations

Print your articles or save them to a disk. In some databases, you can check articles on a list to create a bibliography of sources you think will support your research. You may want to share a preliminary bibliography with your professor or study group to confirm that you are on the right track.

Search History

In most databases, you cannot store search histories. Once you log off, saved citations/records are not retrievable, so be sure that you have noted full citations and the names of the databases from which each was retrieved.
