The Dashboard, available in the column on the left side of ScholarSearch, is where you will find your Projects, Saved items, Searches, and items you've Viewed. When signed into ScholarSearch with your MyEBSCO, items in your Dashboard are saved and can be accessed whenever you are signed in. In addition, items bookmarked in your Dashboard are also available from the Saved tab of the EBSCO Mobile app when signed into the app with your MyEBSCO Account. If you are not signed in to MyEBSCO, items in your Dashboard are not saved beyond your current session. To learn how to (quickly and easily) set up a MyEBSCO account, visit the "Create an Account" page of this guide!
