Do you want to save selected titles to a list for future reference?  You can start to populate a list by selecting the Save checked item(s) to a list button .  This button can be found in the following areas:  Titles search page, Browse Genre page, Details page, or Display Case.  Depending on your library's setup, if the Display Case or Browse Genre is not shown, you will not be able to add items to a list from those particular options.  Lists can be renamed at any time using the Rename button found at the bottom of the My Lists drawer.

The following Save checked item(s to a list button areas are discussed below:

• Titles search page:  After you perform a search, in the individual search results whether displayed in the grid or list view, the Save checked item(s) to a list button displays, as shown in the example below.

From any of the areas mentioned above the Save checked item(s) to a list button allows you to save ONLY the selected items.  Multiple result items can be saved at one time by selecting the individual search result check boxes, located to the right of the author's name, as shown below.  Selecting the check box highlights the title bar of the item.

If you want to save all of the items listed on the Titles search page, select the Select All check box located beside the Next button, as shown in the example below.  Selecting this check box automatically highlights the title bar and places a check mark to the right of the author's name for all of the items on the page.

Once logged on, a dialog box appears, allowing you to save to My List or create your own heading.  By selecting Create New List, a blank text field box appears, as shown below.

Type the new title.  You are allotted up to 26 characters for the list title.  Then, click the plus sign or press <Enter> to save your list.  A message displays advising, Item(s) added to list.

There is no limit on how many lists you can save.  After several saved lists, use the scroll bar on the right side to scroll down to view all of your titles.  Lists will display in alphabetical order.  Your last list entered will be automatically sorted with any existing lists.

To view your saved list, click the My Lists drawer, located in the lower-left section of the Titles search page. My List is shown as the default.  If you created a new list, click the title of your saved list shown on the right pane of the drawer.  Refer to the example below.

To return to the My Lists drawer, click the X button in the upper-right corner on the window.  For more detailed information on printing your lists, see Print My Lists.

• Bibliography Export:  Would you like to export your list into a Bibliographic format and then print it?  With only a couple of clicks, you can have your Bibliography printed out.  This feature is handy when doing a research project or writing a report.  If you have more than ten items saved in a list, all items will be exported into a Bibliographic format,  not just the ones that are currently displaying.  Prior to printing, check with your librarian to find out their policies and see if there are any print fees involved.  Depending on your library's setup, if Bibliography Export is not shown as an option, you will not be able to export your list into a Bibliographic format.

Click the Bibliography Export button.  A new window opens with your list converted into a Bibliographic format.  An example is shown below.  

Click Print located in the lower-right corner of Bibliography Export window.  The Print dialog screen displays.  Select the appropriate printer, and then click Print.  

To return to the My Lists drawer, click the x button in the upper-right corner of the Bibliography Export window.  For more detailed information on printing your Bibliography export, see Export List into a Bibliography Format.
