Baskets

Baskets are a useful tool for collecting records in the search results. You can do the following actions with baskets:

  • View Basket

  • Print Basket

  • Print basket details

  • Email title details

  • Save items in list

  • Clear basket

Baskets should be treated as temporary. Some actions like placing holds, logging out of the catalog, or clearing your browser cookies can clear contents from the basket. If you want to save your searches permanently, click here to view documentation on lists.

Your basket will be in the top right corner of the search results page. It will keep track of how many items are in there currently with a dropdown list of Basket Actions.

After selecting Place Holds in Basket Actions, a confirmation will appear of the items you want to place holds for. At the bottom is the usual notification confirmation and hold options you would find as if you were to place a hold on an individual item when looking up its record.

Print Title Details

After choosing Print Title Details, a prompt will ask you to confirm the titles in your basket. You can also clear out the contents of the basket once you’re done printing with the checkbox option.
