You may use the Clipboard feature to collect articles as you search. Use your clipboard to collocate articles you wish to save or print at any time during your session. The clipboard is available anywhere you can view articles - in News Monitoring, Personal Profiles, Industry News, or Archives.

Once you have conducted a search, you are presented with the list of articles which meet your search criteria. A checkbox is displayed to the left of each article's headline. Check the box for any article(s) you wish to add to your clipboard. When you have selected the article(s) you wish to place on your Clipboard, choose "Add selected to clipboard" from the drop-down list at the top or bottom of your screen, and click the grey "Go" button. A clipboard icon will appear next to any article you have already placed on your Clipboard.

The number of articles currently on your clipboard will appear in the Clipboard status bar in the upper right corner of the screen.

To view your clipboard contents, click the link provided at the top of your screen, in the light blue menu bar.
