My saved list

This facility allows you to compile a list of records from the catalogue. You can then use this list of records for a number of purposes as follows:

• Email details of the saved records to a nominated address
• Download details of the saved records to a local disk file
• Place a reservation on a selection of the records in your list, or place a reservation on all the records in the list (if there are 30 or less)
  

You do not need to login to use 'my savedlist' and there is no limit to the number of records you may have in your list. If you are not logged on however the list will only be temporary, to create a permanent list you will need to login to your account.

To add records to your savedlist, perform a search in the catalogue to find the records you would like to save. If you retrieve a more than one record, your result set will be displayed in brief display. From a brief display, there are three ways you can add a record to your savedlist:

1. Click on the  icon to quickly save individual titles to your active savedlist.
   
2. Mark the checkbox for titles you would like to save, and then select the Save selections under the Options menu.
3. From the Options menu select Save all. This will save every record in your current query to your current savedlist.

If you are logged in always remember to select your chosen savedlist from the user account menu to ensure the records are saved to the right list.

Once you have added records to your savedlist, you can perform a number of functions with the records in the list as follows:
