Computer Tip: Add to My List? What List?

Any time you look at a full record in our catalog or at a search list from a keyword search, you’ll see a little button labeled “Add to Your List.”  Most people’s first question is “What List?”    Our catalog allows any user to make a quick list of titles that they are interested in.  You can even email that list to yourself at your own email address as a set of clickable links  if you click on the “My List - …” link at the top right of your screen, without needing to even login.      Here’s a quick list of what you can do with “Your List”  and then another of what you can’t :

  1. 1. You can make a quick list of several titles (perhaps from a series) that you’d like to read later and email it to yourself .
  2.  2. Click on Add to my list on each of the titles.
  3.  3. Click on the “My List -…”>> Link from the top right on your screen. >> Click on the Email link at the bottom of the List.>> Leave it as “html”, Type in a Subject, Type in your email list.      (This email will come from the SEO Library Center [highlandco@highlandco.org]  which your email may want to treat as spam the first time.  So do check that it went through.)
  4. 4. You can make a longer list by logging in, however, it is not permanent, assume maybe 30-60 days before you should email it to yourself.  However, the system has gone down once recently and lists were lost.
  5. 5. You can click on the links in these emailed lists and jump right to the catalog record to place a hold.

  Lists Do NOT:

  • -A list does Not let you place holds on the whole list at once.  Sorry, that would be nice.
  • -A list does Not let you send the full bibliographic information on each book you used to your email.  Sorry.
  • -A list does Not allow you to give us a book review.  But check Amazon.com  or LibraryThing.com
  • -A list does Not track you or your reading automatically.  You have to choose to make a list. (You can keep a permanent list on LibraryThing.com if you don't mind sharing.)

Hope this Helps!
