My wish list

You can use your wish list to create a list of items you like the sound of or want to borrow. You can create different lists or keep adding to the same one. You can remove items once you have read them.

You can also:

• Email details of the items to a nominated address
• Download details of the items to your device
• Place a reservation on a selection of the items in your list, or place a reservation on all the records in the list (if there are 30 or less)
  

You do not need to login to use a wish list and there is no limit to the number of items 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 access your wish list, you can click on the  icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. This gives you quick access to your current wish list. You will also see how many items are in your list.

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

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

Under the user menu at the top of the page, you will see a list of all of your wish lists. Select which wish list you would like to be the active wish list.

To add records to your wish list, perform a search to find the items you would like to save. Once you have retrieved a set of items , or as you are browsing through your search results, you can add items to your list in two ways:

• Brief Display

If you find more than one record, they will be displayed in brief format along with a bookmark symbol. Press the bookmark to save the item to your wish list

• Full Display

If you have found a single record from your search, or if you have selected a record from your search results, the item will be displayed in full. To add it to your wish list press the bookmark symbol where it says 'Save for later'.

1. Login to My account and access the dashboard.

4. Once in your list there are three ways in which you can remove records:
   
   • Click on the  icon next to the titles you wish to remove. This will unselect that title and delete it from your list. 
   • 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 Pick list.
