Creating a Bookbag
There are two ways of creating a bookbag.
First, in the My Account area, click on My Bookbags. In the Create a new Bookbag section, enter a name for your bookbag into the text box. Decide if you would like to share the contents of the bookbag with other users, and click the Submit button.
If you are already logged in, on any item detail page, select the drop-down menu labeled More Actions in the upper-left. The last option in the drop-down is Create a new bookbag. Clicking it will prompt for a bookbag name and create a new bookbag.
Placing an Item into a Bookbag
You must first log into the catalog in order to place an item into a bookbag. After logging in, when you click on a record on your results list, you’ll see a dropdown labeled “More actions” at the upper right of screen (on the green menu bar). Clicking on the down arrow will give you options to add the title to an existing bookbag or to create a new bookbag and add the title to it.
Sharing a Bookbag
Bookbags can either be private, and only viewable by you; or public, and viewable by anyone who knows where the bookbag resides. By default, all bookbags are private, and you must explicitly instruct the system to allow others to view the contents of a bookbag. You can elect to share a bookbag from the My Account area, My Bookbag section.
To make a bookbag, sharable, click on the “Share this bookbag” link and then click “OK.”
To make a shared bookbag no longer shared, click on the “Hide” link and then “OK.”
You can give the address (URL) of your bookbag to anyone you want to share it with. In the My Bookbags section, in the list of your bookbags, there is a View link for every shared bookbag. Bookmark this page in your browser or copy and paste the address (URL) to share your bookbag.
