The Dashboard, available in the column on the left side of EBSCOhost, is where you will find your Projects, Saved items, Searches, and items you've Viewed.
Click Overview in the column on the left to see your most recently created projects, bookmarked (saved) articles, searches, and items you have viewed.
Projects
The Custom Folders feature from the old interface has been renamed Projects and appears in the left-hand panel under My dashboard. Click Projects to view all of the projects you have created or to create a new one.
To create a project:
1) Click on the blue plus sign on the right side of the page. Create a Project Name, Due Date, and an optional Description of the project.
2) Once you have created the project, the title of the folder will appear on the page.
3) To begin adding material to your project folder, use the search bar at the top of the page to begin searching for relevant materials.
4) After finding the items you would like to save, click on the ellipses and select Add to Project. You will then be able to add your items to a specific folder.
IMPORTANT:Before the library makes the switch, please download any saved items in your custom or shared EBSCO folders. Any items saved to custom or shared folders, in addition to the following items in your general MyEBSCO folder, are not available in My Dashboard: companies, webpages, journal alerts, search alerts, persistent link to searches, notes, pages, other content sources.

MyEBSCO
Items that are saved from your research can only be accessed permanently if you have created a MyEBSCO account (a.k.a personal user account). To determine if you have a MyEBSCO account, click on MyEBSCO account on the right side of the page. If you see your name, or an option to Sign out of MyEBSCO, you are already logged in. If you do not see your name, but an option to Create an account, you will need to create account to retain saved information in your dashboard.
