Q. How do I set up personal accounts in major health sciences databases (to save search results, create alerts, etc.)?

Most databases have an option for users to set up personal accounts. Many resources require an personal account for certain features, such as saving searches, or accessing a specific question/answer resource. The Matas Library recommends that users create a personal account for the Library databases that are used frequently or for complicated research. You may save your searches and also save citations for later use. Access to full-text may be enhanced by using the in the live databases rather than from email or print.
