 Welcome to this video on how to use your library account at the Tulane University Libraries. If you want to make the most out of online library searches, remember to visit your library account whenever you visit the library's website. To log into your account, select the library account button on the top right of the library's homepage. You will be asked to use your Tulane University credentials to log in. On your account homepage, you'll see an overview of the resources you have on loan, any requests that are outstanding, account fines and fees, and messages. There are also tabs for these options as well. A major benefit of using your library account during your searching is the ability to save item records to your account. For example, let's say that we're searching for resources related to the health of African Americans. Once we execute our search, you will get a list of records that have the term health and the phrase African American on the record page. If you're interested in saving one of the items, you will just click the pushpin located on the right hand side. This will animate another pushpin to the top of your page. You can select go to my favorites by clicking that pushpin on the top right. Or you can visit the things that you have pinned by clicking your name and then the drop down menu clicking my favorites. You'll notice that this first example here assessment of the status of African Americans was the item that I saved to my library account earlier. We can also save searches. Let me show you how to do so. We're going to go back to our original search record page. If you click the button here that says save query, this will save the search string that you used to your library account. So we'll press that button. We'll get a little notification telling us that it saved. And now you can access your favorites using one of the methods mentioned earlier. I'm going to press the pushpin. And if you go to saved searches, you'll see the searches that you saved here. You can also look at your search history. However, this history doesn't usually extend past 24 hours. So don't rely on this history to provide you with your historical searches. Good luck with your research.
