NURS 360: Group literature search assignment

This guide has been created to assist with one of the literature searching assignments for NURS 360. NOTE: This particular assignment may not be offered every year, or by every instructor.

Capturing your search history in CINAHL (EBSCO)

To capture your search history, click on the Search History link, then choose Print Search History. As mentioned earlier, you may be asked by your instructor to provide a list of the searches you did, which databases you used, and how many search results you got, so this is a VERY useful feature.

Alternatively, you can take a screenshot like I did below.

Capturing your search history in Medline (OVID)

To capture your search history, click on the Search History link located above the search box, then choose Share Search History, which will allow you to email it to yourself (and/or your team members). Or, take a screenshot, like I did.
