Saving a Search

You can save any search by:

• Advanced Search Form:  Enter name for your search in the "Search Name" field and click either the "Save" or the "Save and Search" button.
• Search Results View: Click the "Save Search" button in the top right corner of your search results and enter the name for your search. 

By saving a search, you are saving the search parameters, not the results.  Each time you access your Saved Search, the system runs the search again, thus ensuring you always have the most up-to-date results.

You can always access your list of Saved Searches from the Advanced Search form or any Search Results page.  

Why Should I Save a Search?

Saving a search helps you get easy access to the most relevant resources for you.  If you find a set of search parameters that returns a list of resources that is valuable to you, then saving it eliminates the need for you to re-enter the search parameters every time you want that information.

Also, your Saved Searches can be added to the My Scholar Home page as Streams.  With Streams, each time you access Scholar, you will get the most recent, up-to-date resources that are relevant to you.  Similarly, instructors can add their Saved Searches to the Scholar Course Home to bring dynamic, current content into the course environment.
