To save items as you are browsing, click on the "save" button in the item's box in the top right. You can also choose to save all items that a particular search will retrieve by clicking on the "Save items on page" link at the bottom of the results.
Once you have selected "Save" for the item, you can access your saved items in two ways. The first is using the link in the top banner of the page that reads "Saved Items". If you are on a desktop computer, this link is on the far right of the page. If you are on a mobile device, it will be found under the "Quicklinks" dropdown menu. You can also access your saved items from your account dropdown menu in the top right of the screen or in the footer menu at the bottom of the page.
When you click on your saved items, you can manage them in a number of ways. To select an item, check the box next to the item(s) you wish to manage, or click "Select all items" to select all saved items. You can then manage the items in the following ways.
You must save items onto a list in order for them to be available in a future session. Once you log out or the session ends, items on your saved list will not be available the next time you log in.
Lists are used to manage saved items. They ensure that the items you save are available in future sessions and can organize your items into different categories. You can access your lists in the drop-down account menu at the top of the page or at the footer menu at the bottom of the page and clicking on "Saved Lists". You will be able to see all the lists you have created, copy shareable links, email the list to others, cite all the items on the list, or delete the list from your profile. To create a new list, click on the "Create List" button at the top of the page.
You have the ability to save your searches made on the library website. Saved searches include not only the terms used, but also any filters or parameters you set for your search. These searches can be re-run at a later time or turned into an alert that will notify you when new items are added to the library collection that match the search. You can save a search you conduct by clicking on the "Save Search" heart icon at the top of the search results. You can also create an alert for any search you run, which will send an email when new items that match your search are added to the library collection. To create an alert, click on the "Create Alert" bell icon at the top of the search results.
You can also save your search through the "Search History" page on your account.
When you are signed into your library account you are able to access the most 100 recent searches on your account. Items older than this will be deleted and will not be able to be accessed again unless you save the search. You can access your search history by clicking on the "Search History" link in the header of the search result page, or accessing "Search Activity" under the "My Account" menu in the header or footer of the page.
The search activity page will include the terms searched, the number of results it brought back, and when the search was run. You can expand the panel by clicking on the arrow on the far right of the row to reveal information about the filters and parameters set with this search. You can also manage your searches by selecting the box next to the searches you wish to manage, and then either delete these searches or share them with an email or link.
To save the search, click on "actions" and "Save search". A menu will appear to confirm the details of the search you are saving. Click on "Save" to save the search. Any searches you save will be accessible from the "Saved Searches" menu on your account.
Searches made while not signed in will be tracked for the current session but you will not be able to access those searches on a new session
To access your saved searches, click on "saved searches" in the account menu in the header or footer. This page will list all the searches you have saved as well as the date you saved them. You may expand the panel of a search by clicking on the arrow in the far right of the panel. This will provide more information on the filters and tools used for this search. From the saved search page, you can create an alert for a search by clicking on "Create Alert". This will email you when any new items are added to the library collection that match your search string. You can also delete any searches you no longer wish to keep by selecting the box to the left of the search and then clicking the "delete" button at the top of the table.
