Save a search & set up alerts

Want to save your search criteria for future use? You can save a search in My Favorites with the search terms and other criteria that you specify (author, subject, format, location, etc).

You can then quickly run this same search on future visits or set up an alert to be notified when new material is added that meet your search criteria.

Create a saved search

Sign in to your library account.
Set up your search. Use advanced search if you want to limit by course information, format, location, publication date, or language. Or try searching by title, author, or keywords.
Once your search is ready, select the search icon or press the Enter key.
On the search results screen, select Save Search with pin icon, which appears above the search results.

You can save your search even if no results were found (e.g. looking for a title hasn't been added to our records yet).
