Save to favourites

When using Library SEARCH, you can save items from your search results into a favourites list so you can return to them later. To do this, start from the Library homepage: 

  1. Select 'Sign in for complete results' and sign in with your UOW username and password
  2. Enter your search terms (e.g. romanticism) and select search
  3. Select the pin icon to the right of the title you would like to save

Or, to save multiple items:

  1. Select the check box next to the items you would like to save
  2. Select the pin icon just above your search results​

To return to your favourites, select the pin icon from the top right of your screen OR select your name from the top right of your screen and select ‘My Favourites’ from the drop down menu. 

Add labels

Once items are in 'My Favourites', you can add labels to organise your saved items.

  1. Go to 'My Favourites'
  2. Underneath the item you would like to label, select ‘Add labels’ 
  3. Type a new label and press Enter or select an existing label

You will then see your labels on the right side menu and can filter your saved items by label.
