My saved list

This allows you to compile a list of records from the library catalogue. You can then use this list of records for a number of purposes, for example:

• Send details of the saved records to an email address.
• Download the saved records to your computer.
• Place a reservation on a selection of or all the records in your list. Note you can only reserve 30 items at one time.

You do not need to login to use My savedlist and there is no limit to the number of records you can have in your list. 

To add records to your savedlist, access the Library Catalogue and perform a search to find the records you would like to save. Once you have retrieved a set of records, or as you are browsing through your search results, you can add records 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 checkbox. Tick the checkboxes for the records you would like to add to your savedlist, then click 'Options' at the top of your search results and click Save Selections or Save All. Alternatively you can click the bookmark symbol to the right of each record to save it to your list. Your selected records will be added to your savedlist and the page of records will be redisplayed. Records already in your savedlist are displayed with a checked disabled checkbox. You must save your selections from each page before moving to the next page of records.

• 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 savedlist click the bookmark symbol on the 'Find it!' box.
