My Folder is a tool that you can use to organise content you find in NewsBank You can
It's fairly straightforward to set up a My Folder account. All you need is an email address and a password.
Click on Session Folder on the top of the NewsBank Homepage
To create an account, click Create a Personal Folder and just fill in your details and create a secure password.
After you create your account, you can access your account page through the same My Folder icon on the homepage.
There are different tabs for saved articles, saved searches, and the other features available.
The Articles tab is the one you see when you login. It will be empty the first time you login as you won't have saved any articles yet. This folder is where you save articles to when you select them in the search results page. You might want to save articles to keep track of useful sources that you find when doing research for assignments or projects
You can save searches and rerun them at your leisure. Handy if your search is a little complicated or gives lots of good results that you can't process at the time.
You get some details about each saved search and the options to edit the search, create alerts or get a permanent link to the search. Another neat feature is the ability to combine your saved searches and run them as a new search. Hence in the above images, you could type '1 and 2 'in the 'Combine Searches' box to search for "sleep disorders" and "healthy eating". Typing '1 and 2' is easier than typing '"sleep disorders" and "healthy eating"'!
You can create email alerts to get notification of new items that match your searches. This can be done on the search results page.
You can organise your saved searches and articles by ticking the checkbox next to the items and clicking the New Folder icon on your My Folder page.
