Yes. You can add items to 'My Collection', which is your own personal repository of resources.

Ways to add to 'My Collection':

  • Select 'My Collection' in the top left menu and click 'Add items' to add resources from Library SEARCH.
  • Use the Cite It! browser extension to add resources you find while browsing the web. To install the extension, click your initials at the top right and select Cite It!.
  • Copy items in subject readings to your collection by clicking the ellipsis [...] beside an item and select 'Copy to my collection'.
  • Pin items to your favourites in Library SEARCH. Note: 'My Collection' in Subject Readings syncs with 'My Favourites' in Library SEARCH. If you delete an item from one, it deletes it from the other. Tags/labels also sync. An exception is that adding to 'My Collection' won't add to 'My Favourites'.
  • Teaching staff: you can build a collection of resources that you can drag and drop into a Subject Reading list at any time.

To go to your 'Collection', click the menu at the top left and select 'My Collection'. From there you can view and tag items in your collection.

My Collection can be accessed from the menu at the top left of the screen.
