Introducing My Lists to the Library catalogue

Today we’re bringing wish list functionality to the library catalogue with the roll-out of a new feature: My Lists.

What is My Lists?

Maybe you need to create a list of items to consult on your next visit to the Library. Or you may be looking for a way to save multiple lists of materials for your various research interests. My Lists lets you do this and more. By using My Lists, you can create a permanent record of library catalogue records for reference, request from the closed stores, export and email.

Another great advantage of this new feature is permanence. If you use My Lists, all lists you create will be saved to your account until you delete them.

My Lists requires a login and PIN, so if you’re not already a Wellcome Library member, register online now to get selected membership privileges. Then check out the catalogue help page to get started using My Lists.

We’re always keen to hear your feedback on our online catalogues and services. Tell us your tales of Library catalogue woes or woohoos by commenting on the blog or sending an email.
