Projects in EBSCO
When you are juggling multiple assignments at once, it’s easy for your research to get messy. Projects act like a digital filing cabinet where you can keep all your work organised by topic, task, etc. Think of a Project as a "dedicated workspace" for each essay/task. Instead of having one giant pile of resources, you can keep your "Climate Change" articles in one folder and your "Childcare" notes in another so they never get mixed up. We're going to explore how to set up project folders and how to save records and searches to these. Remember: Make sure that you are logged into your MyEBSCO account!
