What does this mean? Some of the ITP Library databases offer a free account which enables you to save searches, alerts, and sometimes documents. In other words, it saves you time and work in the future and it only takes a few minutes.
How to Start
First, go to the Access Online Databases page and link to ProQuest.
- In ProQuest, the free account is called MyResearch.
- Click on the Sign In link in the upper right corner.
- Click on the Create a My Research account link and fill out the appropriate information
- Now add some searches: go back to the search by clicking on the Search link at the upper left and try a search.
- You can now save a search, a search alert, or checkmark documents to save them to your account.
The next time you go to ProQuest, you can go back, log in and use those searches and documents again. If you set up alerts, you will get email updates on these searches. We find that students in dissertation phase and faculty who love to stay aware of their research areas love these features.
