Steps for saving articles in CVR Library

Login to VictimResearch.org.
Create a search in VictimResearch.org/library. (Check out the CVR Library search tips to make sure you’re finding all the relevant articles on your topic!)
To save articles in your results, click the “My CVR Library” link in the teal banner menu, which you can find at the top of the page on the right-hand side. If you don’t see the “My CVR Library” link, go back to VictimResearch.org/login to confirm you are logged in and can access custom CVR Library features.
The first time you click “My CVR Library,” you will need to create an account on EBSCOhost. “My CVR Library” is part of EBSCOhost, so this feature does not know your VictimResearch.org login information. You can create an account using the same login information, or completely different login information.
Once you create an account and login to “My CVR Library,” you will be redirected to your search results.
While scrolling through results, click the folder icon next to article titles you want to save.
View your saved articles by scrolling to the top menu and clicking the Folder link. The icon has changed to look it is has papers inside it.
Read an article description by clicking the magnifying glass next to the article title. Open the full text article by clicking HTML Full Text or PDF Full Text.
Create custom folders in “My CVR Library” to organize saved articles by topic or project. In the left-hand menu, scroll to My Custom and click New to create a folder.
Chose a distinct name for the folder and add a description so you remember how these articles are related.
When articles are no longer relevant, you can remove them from your folder by selecting the checkbox next to article titles and clicking Delete Items. (You can always find the article again by searching the title in CVR Library).
