Essential Tips
- To populate your list, you need to navigate to an item and then add it to your bookmarks, or use Add Resources within your list.
- Where possible, bookmark from Library Search or Library databases – this gives the best metadata.
- When bookmarking from Library Search or Library databases, use the individual record view of the item DO NOT bookmark from the results list or from a PDF.
- You can edit any field in a bookmark except ISBN or ISSN.
- For electronic resources check that the 'Online Resources' box is ticked. A pop-up box will ask where to link. Select an option in this order of preference: DOI, Web address, Open URL. Click on 'Link to' to confirm the preferred option is selected.
