Saving Results

The Save button next to each item in Pathfinder search results can be used to store that record in a temporary Save file which can be printed or e-mailed. The Saved Records file resides in the Pathfinder system until your session ends, and then it is erased.

To save all the records on the current page of results, click on the Save All button at the top. There is no limit to the number of records you can save, but you must do it one item, or one page, at a time.

To see a display of all the records you currently have saved, click on Show Saved in the top menu bar. This display shows the following information for each item:

Title
Author
Publication data
Database from which the record originated
Library locations and call number (but not current availability information)

To change what is included in this display (for example, to add the subject headings for each item), click on the Change Display button.

These records can be printed or e-mailed; for more information, see Printing & E-Mailing Results.

Saving results to RefWorks or EndNote

Pathfinder does not have a way to save or export search results to RefWorks, EndNote, or other citation management software. However, this can be done in Melvyl, the catalog of all UC campus libraries. For more information, see the guide to EndNote & RefWorks from our Bioscience Library.

Saving results across sessions

Pathfinder does not have a way to save search results after your session is over. However, this can be done in Melvyl, using its "My Workspace" feature. Before proceeding, it's a good idea to click on Melvyl's "Help" link, then read the detailed instructions under "Saving Results".
