What is 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 saved list' 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.
