1. How do I create a list of library books that I might like to read in the future?

To create a list, first log in to your Library Account. Using the search bar at the top of the Library Account page, use the library catalog to find a title you wish to add to your list. Once you have found your item, look at the top of the page again to see the ’Add to My Lists’ link. (If there is more than one item on the page, you will need to check the box at the left of the title to select the specific item you wish to place on your list.) Click the ’Add to My Lists’ link to see the option to create a new list. Once you have created a list, you can use the ’My Lists’ button in your library account to see your list any time.

2. How do I add items to an existing list?

When you search the library catalog and see an item you want to put on your list, you can add it in one of two ways.

If your search found multiple items, you will see something like this near the top of the page:

Click the box next to the title you want and then select ’Save to my Lists’.

                   OR...

If your search found only one item, you will see something like this near the top of the page.  Click ’Add to My Lists’.

Either way, if you have more than one list, you can choose the list you want. Your item will be added to the list.

3. How do I use the Book Cart to save or export lists from the Library Catalog?

You do not have to be logged into your account to create a list and send it to the book cart. Save titles to the Book Cart by marking the check boxes next to your selections, and then clicking the ’Save Marked’ button at the top or bottom of the screen. 

The titles are saved to the Book Cart. When you are ready to view the full list, click the ’View Saved’ button with the cart icon. 

On the Book Cart screen, you can see and edit your list. Now you have choices. You can export your list to a notepad file, open it in plain text on the screen, or click the "Save to my Lists" link to save the item to a Reading List in your library account (you’ll be asked to log in with your library card if saving to your Reading List). If you are using a computer connected to the Internet, you can choose to email the list.
