Saving, emailing or printing your search results

 

Once you have done a search and retrieved a lot of records, you might want to select some of them and keep them to use later.  You have several options for saving or sending this information.


Saving Records

You will probably want to save only certain selected items from your results list, not everything. You can scroll down through your list, choosing the records that interest you most. To select a record, click on the book mark icon on the far right top edge of the record. When you click on it, the icon will turn blue. This will save the record for you.

Now, look under the My dashboard menu to the left of the search screen. You will see the same Saved icon. Click it  to see the record you have saved.

 

Cite, Share/Email and Print Options

To the right of the save option above each record note the three vertical dots. Click on it to reveal the additional options: Cite, Add to project, Share, Download

The Cite tool not only allows you to copy your desired citation to your device's clipboard but also export it to third-party citation software such Zotero or RefWorks.

To share or email your records, click on Share.  The Share menu allows you to send your article to Google Drive, One Drive or create a persistent link.  From the Email menu you can send a PDF full text of the article along with a citation of your record to multiple email addresses if you wish.  Typically, the ATLAS database will send a separate email for each bib record.  When you receive each message, you should be able to open the record by clicking on the “Persistent link.”

When you click on the “Persistent link” in the email message, the bib record will open in a new browser window. Notice that this record has a Access now PDF button within it.  If the record you save has such a link, the link will be active, so that you can open the article itself without having to repeat your search.

To print your selected records, select the Download option. Once your article is downloaded and you have opened it in a new browser window select the print icon and follow the browser prompts to print.
