In the top right hand corner of the screen, click on the folder icon and select Selected Items.

In doing research, it is highly recommended you document your searches. You might have to re-do the search or even perform a new search in the same database with a different set of keywords. Instead of documenting the search on paper, you can save searches in your ProQuest account.
Under the search box, click on Save search/alert.
If you want to save the current search, select Save search, log in to your account, and fill out the form. If you did multiple searches, click View recent searches, select the search you want to save, and click Actions. Then in the drop down menu select Save search.
Log in to your account and fill out the form.
New content is periodically added to the databases. You can create alerts to notify you when a new article is added to a saved search or when an issue of a certain journal is added to the database.
Under the search box, click on Save search/alert.
If you want to create an alert for the current search, select Create alert in the drop down menu and fill out the form. If you did multiple searches, click on View recent searches and select the search you want. Click on Actions and select Create alert in the drop down menu.
Log in to your account and fill out the form - name, schedule updates (send weekly, monthly, etc...) and when you want the updates to end.
