Many databases let you make a personal account

  • Many of our databases, and RamSearch (our discovery tool), let you create a personal 'account'.
  • This lets you store individual items, or several, that you have found while searching, by selecting them
  • You can also usually also choose a entire page of search results to add to your free storage area (Note: you may have to add additional results pages separately in order to save your entire listing search results - tedious if the results are many)
  • Sometimes the database account will let you save the actual search (the exact words and order) that you ran as well
  • This can be very handy if you spend a lot of time in a specific database - just be aware that this only works if you make sure you're logged in to your database account every time you use it.
