My Lists

The My Lists feature, available through My Account, is similar to a wishlist. 

Add Items to a List

1. Search for an item in our catalog at www.westervillelibrary.org.
2. When you find an item that you want to add to My Lists, click on the ADD RECORD button.
3. Now you can view, email, print or save records that you have added by clicking on the EXPORT RECORDS link in the top right-hand corner of the page.
4. You’ll see an option to enter an email address, but you can also click on the link that says ADD TO MY LISTS.
5. When you do so, you will be prompted for your NAME and LIBRARY CARD NUMBER.  Enter these and click SUBMIT.
6. The screen should refresh and show you any existing lists you have created. You can choose from an existing list and click Add, or you can choose to CREATE NEW LIST. Enter a name and description for your list and click CREATE.
7. In order to view the lists that you have created, click on MY ACCOUNT, then click on MY LISTS.
