Help - My Archive

Help contents

This area of BSC has been specifically designed to help you with your research. You can create your own personalised area where you will be able to store selected records and saved searches for future reference. My Archive is username and password protected, so that only you can access the information stored here, unless you choose to share your log in details.

Items can be selected from any of the content within BSC and stored as Saved Items.

You can save searches, enabling you to launch the same search again at a later date, from Saved Searches.

To access My Archive, click on the My Archive link that appears at the top of every page in BSC.
