Are you researching but don’t have time to read all the material you’ve found right now? No problem! Saving sources for later takes just a few clicks.
First, if you have not done so already, log in with your Google account. If you do not have an account, head to Create My Account for information on setting up your free Google account. Unlike the library linking feature, a Google account is required in order to save sources for later.
Next, conduct your search (see More Resources for tips and tricks to refine your searches). When you see an article you want to save for later, click the “✩ Save” button. You’ll see a pop-up menu that looks like this:
As you can see, you can create multiple labels/lists to save your resource into. This can be extremely helpful if you are balancing multiple courses or multiple research projects! Click “Create New” to make any lists as you see fit. Once you have, your screen should look something like this:
Next, click on any relevant labels you wish to add the resource to.
Lastly, click “Done” to save the resource.
You can now view your saved resources anytime by clicking “My Library” (located in the top left or top right of your screen depending on which page you are on). Your lists will appear in the left hand corner.
