Saving your research to get back to it later is an important part of the research process. Beyond copying or emailing yourself the permalinks and collecting citations for results as you go along, there are other options to collecting sources so you can backtrack to what you found. Various databases have a feature to establish an online folder or saved list within the database, where you can save results or articles to that you found in your ongoing research.
Be sure that the feature is not session-specific because sometimes, if you close out of your browser and attempt to access later, the saved results will have expired or timed out, starting a new session. Sometimes, a creation of a personal account is required for it to not be session-specific (in that instance, your MyTCC access is only authenticating you like a pass key, but it is not tied to your personal information). In theory, if you create a personal account in, for example, Ebsco, you could then access that same saved research at another institution that offers the same databases (if you were to transfer to a different university, for example). TCC Library will not control or be able to reset your personal account/username and password with a specific database vendor.
On the top ribbon of a database, look for links such as Sign In in Ebsco to create an account. In Gale, look for "Sign in with Google" or "Sign in with Microsoft" which works with your OneDrive account in MyTCC.
