On the library's home page, click the My Library Account button located under the gold Search button.
Sign in with your TigerNet ID and password. You'll see a screen showing if you have items checked out, or any fines, etc.
Click "New Search" in the black toolbar at the top of the page and conduct your search by typing in keywords or short phrases in quotation marks.
When you find a book, article or other item you want to save, click the pushpin icon to save it. You can verify that you are signed in by checking that your name appears in the upper right corner of the screen. (You can use the pin function without being signed in, but when you close out of your search, your pinned items will not be saved). To view your list of pinned items, also called your favorites, click on the pushpin icon in the upper right. Your pinned items will stay in your list until you remove them. You have the option to:

Export selected items to Excel by clicking the three dots menu at the top of the list and selecting Export to Excel.
Email items to yourself by selecting them, then clicking the three dots menu at the top and clicking the email icon. You'll receive an email from Primo@exlibris.com containing a list of items, with links back to the full information about the item(s) in the online catalog.
Organize your list by selecting items, then clicking the pencil icon at the top of the list to add labels.
Save a search by clicking the Search History tab at the top and pinning a search. From the Saved Searches tab, you can set an alert to be notified when new relevant items are added to our holdings.
Click or scan the QR code in the upper right to get a link back to your pinned items.
