Help: Marked List
The Marked List page lists the bibliographic records you have added from the results or full record pages during the current session. It allows you to create a list of records relevant to your research, view the full record, email, print or download the list, remove records from your list, or save records to My Archive if you want to keep a record beyond the current session.
Articles and Journal Records are stored in separate marked lists. Click the Articles/Journal Records links at the top of the Marked List page to switch between the two lists. It is possible to store up to 200 articles and 200 journal records in the Marked List at any point in time.
Note that records will only remain on the Marked List page for the duration of the current session.
Each entry in the list consists of:
- a number to indicate the position of a record in the list
- brief bibliographic information in the same format as on the results page
- a Select checkbox
- a Bookmark this item link.
To select an item to email, print, download, remove from Marked List or save to My Archive, click the Select checkbox underneath the item. To select all of the items on your Marked List page, click the Select all checkbox at the top of the page. To clear your selection, uncheck this checkbox.
