What is My List?My List is a feature in the online catalog that allows you to create a
temporary list of items from your search results. For example, if you have
reached your request limit of five (5) items, you might want to create a list of
items you wish to request in the future. Anyone using the catalog can create a
temporary list, but you must have a library account to save your list. After you
log in to your library account, you may also create additional lists besides the
original list you created on the My List page. How Do I Add Items to My List? After you perform a search, you will have the option to add items to a list
by clicking on the button "Add to my list". When you add an item, the button
will change color and say "Remove". Click this button to delete items from your
list anytime in the future. On some searches, you may need to drill down further
into the search to receive the “Add to my list” option. To save items in your list for future reference, you must log in to your
account with your barcode number and PIN. You can log in before or after you
create your list. If you do not log in to your account, any new items added will
be lost. Your barcode number can be found on the back of your library card. Your
PIN (Personal Identification Number) is usually the last four digits of your
home telephone number unless you created a new PIN. To see items that you have added to your list, click on the button "My List"
in the upper right hand corner of the catalog screen. As new items are added to
the list, the titles are alphabetically inserted. From this screen you can place
a request or access the holdings screen. How do I create multiple lists? After you log in, you can create multiple lists (such as dividing lists into
different subjects). To do so, check the box next to items in your current list
that you wish to move to a new list. In the “Move to” dropdown menu, select “New
List”. When you choose “New List”, you will be prompted to name the list. In the
future you may access this new list via the dropdown menu called "Other Lists".
If you do not access a list for 180 days, the list will be deleted. Whenever
you access your primary list (“My List”), even if just to view it, the 180 days
will start over. However, the 180 days is only renewed for your named lists when
you add or delete items to them. How can I email myself (or others) a list? You may want to access your list outside the library catalog or share that
list with others. To do so, first access the list you wish to send. Below the
list, click on the link "Email this List". You will be given the option to enter
a format, subject, and email address to send the list to. If you wish to send
the list to multiple addresses, simply put a comma between each of them.
