When you're searching in OneSearch or another EBSCO database, there are two ways to save articles and other sources you find.  You'll see these options in the upper right corner when you're viewing a single article or result.  The bookmark icon is "Save," and the folder icon is "Add to project":

EBSCO search result with "save" and "add to project" options

If you click "Save," the item will be added to your "Saved" section, which you can find in the "My Dashboard" menu on the left of your screen.  You don't need to create an account to save items; however, the items will only stay in your saved section for the length of your browser session.  

If you click "Add to project," the item will be added to your "Projects" section, which you can also find in the "My Dashboard" menu on the left of your screen.  You will need to sign up for an account to use this feature.  Items added to your Projects section will stay there until you delete them.

To sign up for an EBSCO account, click the "MyEBSCO" link in the upper right corner and click "Create an account."  Fill in your name, email address, and password.  You can use your SU email address or your personal email address.  You can choose any password you want.  If you use the same password as your current SU password, it will not change when you update your SU password; this will be a separate account.
