Saving Catalog Items to a List

This tutorial describes how to make a list of Catalog items to save or email to yourself. 

Creating a List

1. On the UW-Madison Libraries homepage, select the “Sign In” link on the right side of the red navigation bar across the top of the page. If you are already signed in, this link will say your name instead of “Sign In.”
2. In the menu that drops down from the “Sign In” link, select “Lists.”
3. If you are not already logged in, sign in with your NetID.
4. You will be taken to a page featuring all of your Lists. List titles appear in a column on the right side of the page.
5. Select the “Create a List” button on the right side of the page. Give your list a title in the text box that appears. Your list is now ready to have materials added to it.

Saving Items to Your List

1. Select the “Save to lists” link under the title of an item in the search results page or in the page for the item, and a drop-down menu will open.
2. If you are not already logged in to your Library Account, select “Login to Save” in  the drop-down menu.
3. To save an item, check the box next to the list you wish to save the item to.
   • After you save the item to your list, the heart next to the “Save to lists” link will turn blue.
   • To unsave an item, uncheck the box next to the list where the item has been saved at the top of the drop-down menu again.

Finding Your List

1. On the UW-Madison Libraries homepage, select the “Sign In” link on the right side of the red navigation bar across the top of the page. If you are already signed in, this link will say your name instead of “Sign In.”
2. In the menu that drops down from the “Sign In” link, select “Lists.”
3. If you are not already logged in, sign in with your NetID.
4. You will be taken to a page featuring all of your Lists. List titles appear in a column on the right side of the page.
   • Another way to access your saved list is to select “Manage Lists” from the “Save to Lists” drop-down menu when searching the Catalog

Using Your List

On your Lists page, select the list you wish to use from the column on the right side of the page. Here, you can edit the title of the list, remove items from the list, or email the contents of the list.

• To edit the title of the list, select the pencil next to the title on the left side of the screen.
• To remove items from the list, select the “x” button associated with each item.
• To email the list, select the envelope icon to the right of the list’s title. This will open a pop-up window where you can enter an email address. When you enter an address and select “Submit,” the contents of your list will be sent to that address as an email.
