Keeping the results of your library catalogue searches
When you find items after searching the library catalogue that you want to keep and organize, you can save them in your My Lists. You can create and customize your lists, and you can print or email your lists. From My Lists, you can also place holds or request items.
Adding items to My Lists
Add items to your My Lists by ticking the box next to the item (1) and then selecting Add to My Lists (2) using the Select An Action drop-down from either a search results page or an item's detail display.
If you are logged in to the system, you will be prompted to select which of your lists you want to save items to.
If you are not already logged in to the system, any items you add to My Lists will be sent to a Temporary List.
To access your custom lists, you will need to first log in.
Using your Temporary List
If you are logged in to the system, you can move items into other lists, or you can save the entire list. In essence, you will be creating a new list out of the items in your Temporary List.
To save your Temporary List, select Save Temporary List from the Select An Action menu (1).
A window will open and ask you to name the new list. Enter the name and click Save to save the list or Cancel to go back.
If you log out without saving the list, the Temporary List will be cleared.
If you are not logged in, the list of titles will be cleared after your session has expired (about 10 minutes with no activity in the browser). You can log in after you have placed items in your Temporary List to move them to one of your saved lists.
Viewing and arranging My Lists
Your Temporary List and your saved lists are listed in the left-side window under the Lists heading.
To view a list, click on it. It will open in the main window.
To arrange your saved lists, do one of the following:

Use this icon to drag and drop your lists in the order you want them to appear.
Use the Arrange By drop down (2) to arrange your lists alphabetically (ascending or descending) or by the time they were created (most recent first or oldest first).
Adding and Deleting lists
To create a new list, click the Add List button (3). A window will open and prompt you to name your new list. Enter the name and click Create to create the new list or Cancel to go back.
To delete lists, select the lists you want to remove and then click the Delete Lists button (3).

Placing holds or requests
If you are not already logged in when you try to place a hold, the system will prompt you to log in. A window will appear for you to specify the library where you want to pick up the item when it is available.
Once you have selected the pickup library, click Place Hold. The system will tell you if the hold was successfully placed or not.
Once you have placed a hold on an item, you will be able to see it in My Account under the Holds tab.
