Using My Library

What is My Library?

My Library is a space where you can collect and organize articles in BioOne Complete. This helpful tool makes it easy to gather, sort, and access relevant research from one place.

To access My Library, sign into your account and click the arrow next to your name, located in the black bar at the top of the page. Select My Library from the drop down menu.

This directs you to My Library, where any articles you have sent here will appear.

Sending articles to your Library

To send an article to My Library, first ensure that you are logged into your account. If you are not logged in and attempt to save an article to your library, the platform will prompt you to log in.


	Once logged in, navigate to an article you want to send to My Library. Find the black box in the right sidebar and click Save to Library, directly below the Download PDF button.

	In the box that appears, select a folder to send the article to, create a new one, or send it directly to My Library. Use the checkbox to select a destination and click Save. NOTE: If you create a new folder, a form will appear which will allow you to name and describe a new folder. Once you choose Save, the folder will be created, and the article will be sent to this new folder - there is no need to re-send it.

You can save an article to My Library when scrolling through an article; a floating menu appears at the top of the page with links to other parts of the article: Save to My Library appears in the right corner.

You can send articles to My Library from the Table of Contents page of an issue, or the search results page. The process is the same: find the Save to My Library button, select the article's destination, and then click Save.

If you sent an article to My Library and it doesn't appear there, make sure you are logged in and try again. If you are logged in and still unable to find the article in My Library, please contact helpdesk@BioOne.org.

How do I organize My Library?

Creating, Editing, and Deleting Folders

My Library allows you to create folders in which you can organize articles. This is an efficient way to sort articles based on theme, purpose, or project.

To create a new folder, visit My Library, and click Create a New Folder from the left-hand menu (See 1).

A form will appear. Choose and enter the name for the folder as well as an optional description, and click Save. The folder will now appear in the left-hand menu, and be available as a destination for you to send articles while browsing. You can also create folders as you go, as detailed above.

A screenshot of the folder editing pop-up, with options to name, describe, and delete a folder.

To edit the name or description of a folder in My Library, click on the small gray cog wheel icon (see 1) next to the name of the folder you wish to edit. In the form that appears, you can re-name the folder and edit the description text. Once you have made your changes, click Save.

To delete a folder, click the cog wheel icon and toggle the checkbox next to Delete Folder and click Save.

Note that any articles in a folder you delete will be removed from My Library.

Moving Articles

To move an article from one location to another in My Library, find the entry for article you wish to move and click Move To, located beneath the Download PDF button (See 2). A pop-up will appear with a list of all of the folders you currently have in My Library. Use the checkboxes to select the folder/s you would like to move your article to, and then select Save. The article will now appear in the folders you selected.

Removing Articles

To remove an article from My Library, locate the entry for the article you wish to remove and select Discard, in the right corner of the entry (See 2).

Adding Notes to Articles

To add a brief note to a saved article, locate the article in My Library and click Add Note, below the Download PDF and Move To buttons (See 2). A form will appear. Type in your thoughts, questions, or notes, and click Save.

To view the note after saving it, select View Note.

Sorting Articles Within Folders

You can filter the articles in My Library or in a specific folder by using the two-drop down menus that appear in the horizontal bar above the article entries (See 3).

You can Sort By:

Recently added: how recently the article was saved to My Library;
Publication Date: when the article was published, from both oldest to newest and newest to oldest;
Article Title: the title of the article, from A-Z or Z-A.

You can also use the View menu to select the type of research you are looking for, whether journal or EBook.

Social Media Sharing Tools

Sharing a relevant article with colleagues or followers is quick and easy in BioOne Complete* - simply look for the Share button, located in the black sidebar on the right side of an individual article page.
