Most databases now offer personal accounts.  These allow users to save and retrieve articles remotely, save search histories, create alerts, organize favorite articles and share with others.

The links below provide information for individual databases.

CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied  Health Literature) includes evidence-based care sheets, quick lessons and images. Create a user login and you can save material in personal folders for later use.
