How do I save items in my search results?

Answer

You can temporarily save items when searching in LibrarySearch. Any items that you save may disappear when you refresh the page or step away from your computer. Please save a record of your results before you start reading articles or step away.

Here are the steps for saving your results:

  1. For each item you would like to save, click the bookmark icon to the right of its title.
     
  2. Once you have added all of the items you would like to save, click on the saved items bookmark on the top right corner of the page.

  3. You will see a list of items appear which you have previously saved. You can choose a citation format to apply to the items you have saved or leave them as-is. If you are choosing a citation format, please keep in mind that it is an automated tool and your citations will require checking for accuracy.

  4. You can export, email, or print your saved items. Select as appropriate.
     
  5. To email saved items to yourself, click on the "Email" button and fill out the form with your email address, completing the captcha, and clicking "Send." If you've chosen to email the saved items, please note that you will receive an email from the sender, "Summon," which is the name of VIU Library's search tool.
