My Lists in the Lakeland Library Catalog


Starting Thursday!

MY LISTS: This feature in the OPAC will be located within “My Account”. The My Lists feature enables you to keep track of books you are interested in but have not yet checked out or cannot check out at the present time. You are allowed to create multiple lists and can name your own lists. Once lists have been created, the management features include the ability to delete an entire list, delete some records from a list, export a list, and remove duplicate records from a list. When viewing records in a list, the catalog provides a button next to each title to allow placing a hold. Lists are created using the Book Cart feature. As of that morning, a third option will be visible when you view a Book Cart. The button will read “Save to My Lists” with a description next to it that reads, “Save to wish list.”

There are always titles that you may wish to read, but you've reached your 10 hold limit or you don’t have time to read right now. This option gives you an avenue to keep track of things you might want to read in the future with an easy link to placing a hold when you are ready. You will likely find many other uses for the “My List” feature. When you log into you account, the My Lists button will show only if you have already created a list. Once you've created your first list, the button will be available with the other buttons on the My Account page.
