Getting started - using the bookbag
The bookbag lets you select items as you search or browse collections and hold them for the duration of your search session. Item records in your bookbag can be saved to your desktop as a text file or emailed to any email address. You can also search items in your bookbag collectively, as well as link to any item directly.
Adding an item to your bookbag
You can add items to your bookbag from the resutls list, from the item table
of contents, or while viewing an individual text. In the results list, under
each work title,
is
an "add
to bookbag" link, as shown in the Fig1 below:

Opening the bookbag
You can view your bookbag contents from any page by clicking the "view
bookbag" button at the top right corner of the page.
