How do I save sources from my database search and include the citation?
I mostly use Ebsco Discovery Service
Answer
All database have a way to save sources if they're full text (or their citation/abstract if they aren't) and the citation is included. You need to tell it which citation style you are using. See all of our databases at https://epcc.libguides.com/az/databases
Select items you want to save, either one at a time or add them to a folder which will not stay once you log out. If you'd like the list to be saved, create a free personal account in the database first.
Usually on the right hand side of the screen (top or side) you will see choices to print, email or save. After you choose one, be sure to choose your citation style. If you choose print, you can save it as a PDF or print to a printer. Insert your email address, or if it's save, insert a pin drive.
