FirstSearch:  An Online Introduction

Emailing a Record

Sometimes you may want to email a record to yourself or to someone else.
You might want to cut and paste the record into a works cited or bibliography for a paper.
Or you might not have time to see if your library owns the item, so you can email the Record to yourself for checking later.

Let's use a Full Record from the FirstSearch database Reader's Guide Abstracts.
This Full Record is for an article in the magazine Current Health about drunk driving.
Notice that it has a useful abstract, or summary, of the article.

To email this Record, we click the "E-mail Record" button.

Now we are ready to email the Record.
1.  Type your email address in the box.
2.  You can type comments that will appear in the email message.
3.  Click the "E-Mail Record" button.

Now  FirstSearch shows us a confirmation screen.  We click the highlighted "Return" to return to the Record screen.

Next we'll look at the FirstSearch Menu Bar, which offers some useful commands.
