Saving and Other Tools
OneSearch has many tools to help you organize your results. For example, you can email the article to yourself. You will find these options and more in the suite of tools to the right of a result.
If you are interested in an item you’ve found through OneSearch, you can use one of the system’s built-in tools to email the item to yourself for later review. Just click on the envelope icon next to an item and input your e-mail address.
Pin
If you would like to save an item for future use, Sign In at the top of OneSearch and click on the pin icon to save it to My Favorites. You can access your My Favorites list by clicking on the pin icon in the header menu. Pinned items will stay in this list if you have signed in. You can assign labels to your pinned items to keep track of sources for different classes and assignments.
Permalink
There’s also a tool called Permalink which is represented by a chain link icon. It will give you a stable URL to use if you need to get back to this exact page within OneSearch. Using the URL within in your browser’s main search bar, on the other hand, will typically give you an error message.
