Adding links from EBSCOHost to bookmarking, social media, and messaging sites

In addition to saving items to Google Drive, EBSCO databases allow users to add citations and links to a variety of bookmarking, social media, and messaging sites. From any EBSCO article citation, choose “share,” the share menu will open and show the most popular options. Then click on the “more” button in the share menu, and more options will appear. Each sharing tool handles the citation differently, but one can, for example, use the Facebook messenger tool to send an article to a classmate via Facebook.
