Saving Results with Title Lists

You can use title lists to gather and save information from your search results. You can create a working title list from your current search results, print your list, send it by email, or save it to an outside device. You have the following format choices for your lists:

• Brief bibliographic display - Can include availability information
• Full bibliographic display - Can include availability information
• Chicago Manual of Style bibliography - Check the requirements of your school, college, or journal. If you print or save the list in this format, you may need to edit it to match specific requirements.
• American Psychological Association (APA) bibliography - Check the requirements of your school, college, or journal. If you print or save the list in this format, you may need to edit the format to match specific requirements.

Your working title list is available for your current session only. However, if you have a library account, you can create and save multiple title lists. When you log in, you can see and work with your saved lists.

In working and saved lists, you can select multiple titles and move or copy them from a working list to a saved list. You can also move or copy titles among many saved lists. Once you have saved a list, you can print, email, or save to disk any single list pages, and you can email the entire list. You can also select single or multiple titles to place hold requests on the selected title or titles, if your library offers this feature.

See the following topics:

To create and edit a working title list from your current search results

1. In the search results display, locate the title you want to add to the title list, and select Add to List. The title is added to My Lists at the side (computer or tablet) or bottom (phone) of the page.

In the search results, a Remove link appears. You can select Remove to take the title off the working title list.

2. Repeat step 1 to add titles to any of your saved lists.
3. To view information about the titles in the working title list, select Full Display. The details for that title open in a new page in Brief Bibliographic display format.

Note: Each title in your title list is a link. You can select a title to launch a search for the title in the library catalog. (This feature does not apply to titles you may have added from databases other than your library catalog.)

4. To change the display format, select a format in the Format list. If you select Brief Bibliographic or Full Bibliographic, you can choose to include availability information for each title. Select Local Availability or System Availability from the Include Availability list.
5. To change the number of titles displayed on the page, select the per page box and select a number.
6. To change the sort order, select the Sort box and select a sort order.
7. If you want to delete one or more titles from the working title list, do one of the following:
• To delete all the titles and the list, select Delete List at the top of the title list, or select Clear list in the working list summary at the side or bottom of the page.
• To delete titles from the list one at a time, select Remove beside each title you want to delete.
• To delete multiple titles from the title list, select the checkbox by each title you want to delete. Then select Remove selected at the bottom of the list. The titles are removed from the title list.

Important: The working title list remains visible until you delete all the titles on it, log out (if you have logged in), or close the browser window. If you are using the online catalog in the library and are concerned about your privacy, delete the working title list before you leave the library computer.

If you want to use your working title list after your catalog session, you can save, print, or send it using the following procedures:

• Save a title list in your library account
• Save a title list page to a computer drive or disk
• Print a title list page
• Send a title list by email

Save a title list in your library account

If you are a registered library user, you can log in to copy or move any titles from a working title list to a title list that is saved in association with your library account. You can have multiple saved title lists for different purposes; they are available to edit and work with when you log in to the online catalog.

To create a title list that is saved with your library account

6. Type a name for your new list and select Create List. The name cannot contain the following: plus sign, single quote, double quotes, or backslash (\).

   The working list is again displayed in the center of the page.

7. To add titles to your new saved list, select the titles in the working list, and then use one of the following methods:

   Note: To select all the titles on the page, select the checkbox beside the title count at the top or the bottom of the list.

   • Copy titles from the working list to the saved list. Select the titles in the working list, select the saved list in the Please select a list box, and then select Copy Selected To. The titles you copy remain on the working list, but they are also added to the saved list.
