A: You can add items to a Virtual Shelf in one of two ways: by barcode OR through a search in the online catalog.

1. Click on the Virtual Shelf you wish to add items to.
2. In the “Barcode” field, scan or type the barcode and click “Save”

1. Search for the item/s using the Quick or Advanced Search
2. Click on “Brief Display” in that item's Details Screen
3. Click “Add to Shelf”. A pop-up window will open.
4. Choose an existing shelf in the pull-down menu (“Add to virtual shelf”) OR Create a New Bookshelf at that time by entering a name for the shelf and choosing a “Category” (“Public” or “Private”)
5. Click “Add to Virtual Shelf”

At present, there is no option to add a list of items to the Virtual Shelves in 'bulk'. You must search on the item and add in via the “Brief Display” or enter the barcode.

Staff may login to their own account and add/create Virtual Shelves from within their account, though it is not necessary.

The “Brief Display” of an item in the Staff Intranet is the same display as the Details Screen of that item in the OPAC. This is an easy way to remember that you add to the virtual shelf from this page.
