Creating a Personal List in the Library Catalog

(From Books & Bytes in Major Mail)
How do you keep track of lists of books and other items you find while searching in Quest, the BC Libraries Catalog? Print them out one at a time? Write down the information for each item on a piece of paper?

Here’s a better way:


The “My List” feature of Quest lets you create your own personal list of records you select. You can then print, save or e-mail the selected information for later use.
There are two ways to add items to your list:
  1. When looking at an individual record, simply click on the Add to My List button at the upper left of the screen; or
  2. When you have a group of records on the screen after conducting a search, check the check boxes next to the items you want, and then hit the Add to My List button.
You can continue to add records through different searches as long as you are in Quest. When you’re done, click on the View My List button at the top of the screen, and you’ll be offered options to print the list, e-mail it to yourself (or someone else), or save it to your computer.
