Why did my articles added to the EBSCO folder disappear?

Sign in to your account

To keep articles in permanent EBSCO folders, you must first set up and be signed in to a personal EBSCO account. A personal EBSCO account is different from your Walden account and is free to set up. 

Anything saved to an EBSCO folder without first signing in to a personal EBSCO account will disappear when you leave the database. The Library has no way to access those searches or recreate articles in folders. 

November 2021 changes to EBSCO personal accounts

After November 9, 2021, the first time you access an EBSCO database or full-text article, you will be prompted to consent to EBSCO’s Personal Data Retention and Usage Policy. If you choose to consent, then a new personal EBSCO account will be automatically created for you.

If you have a previous account, you can switch between this new account and a previous account, or choose to merge your accounts. This link will walk you through how to do either:

• EBSCO personal user accounts: switching or merging
