Saving items to your library (Discovery) account
You can use your library account to place holds on materials, renew physical items, see what print books you have checked out, and you can also save items from your results list in Discovery to read later.
If you want to save a permanent list, log in to your library account (if you only need a temporary list, you can skip this step).
If you are an RRU student, faculty, or staff, you can log in to your library account either from:
- The RRU Library homepage, you can log in by clicking the 'My Account' link along the top of the page.
- The Discovery search results page by clicking the 'Sign In' link on the right-hand side.
Either way, when prompted for a username and password, enter your RRU Login (the same username and password you use for Moodle).
Once you've signed in, your first name will appear in the upper right menu on the Discovery search results page. You can now manage your library account and your personal lists by selecting the appropriate function from the dropdown menu.
Saving items from your results list in Discovery
- To save items temporarily, click on the 'Save' button located in the top right corner of the item.
- To save items to work with in another search session, still use the 'Save' button but sign in, create a list, and add those items to the list.
To view your saved items, click 'Saved Items' in the upper right corner of your Discovery search results screen.
You can choose to email the collected items to yourself, generate citations for them, or delete them from your list. Important note: This list will be deleted when you close your browser. If you want to keep your list in Discovery for future reference, you will need to sign in and add them to a personal list.
Once you have signed in, you will see two additional options for your saved items. Click 'Create List' to create a personal list to save your items so that they are available after your current browsing session. Click 'Move' to move the selected items to an existing personal list.
Name and save your list. You can select items from this page to save to your list.
Now that you have created a personal list and moved your saved items to it, you will be able to access it later by signing in to your account, clicking on your name in the top right corner of the screen, and selecting the 'My Personal Lists' option from the dropdown menu.
