Searching the library catalogue

A saved list allows you to create a collection of records from the catalogue. You can then use this list to:

• Email the list to share with someone
• Download details to your computer
• Place a reservation on up to 10 of the records in your list
  

You do not need to login to use 'my saved list' and there is no limit to the number of records you may have in your list. If you are not logged on however the list will only be temporary, to create a permanent list you will need to login to your account.

To quickly access your active saved list, you can click on the icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. You will also see how many records are in your list.

When you are logged into the catalogue, you can have multiple saved lists. To view all of your saved lists and choose your active saved lists:

1. Login to My account and access the user menu.
2. Select Add new saved list to add a new saved list.
3. Select View all saved lists to view all saved lists.

Under the user menu at the top of the page, you will see all of your saved lists. Your active saved list has a tick next to it.

To add records to your saved list, perform a search in the catalogue to find the records. If you retrieve a more than one record, your result set will be displayed in a brief display. From here, there are three ways you can add a record to your saved list:

1. Click on the  icon to save individual titles to your active saved list.
   
2. Mark the checkbox for titles you would like to save, and then select the Save selections under the Options menu.
3. From the Options menu select Save all. This will save every record in your current results to your current saved list.

If you are logged in always remember to check which is your active saved list from the user account menu to ensure the records are saved to the right list.

To remove records from your saved list:

1. Login to My account and access the dashboard.
2. Select View all saved lists.
3. Select the saved list which you want to remove items from.
4. Once in your list there are three ways to remove records:
   
   • Click on the  icon next to the titles you wish to remove. 
   • Mark the checkbox for titles you would like to remove, and then select the Remove selections under the Options menu.
   • From the Options menu select Remove all. This will remove every record in from your current saved list.

If you have created a saved list without logging in it will be kept for two days. It will be automatically cleared after this time.
