The basket is used to temporarily collect bibliographic records. The basket can be used to place a hold on multiple records at once, print or email record details, add records to a record bucket, and export records.

You only have one basket in Evergreen. If you need to save a basket for later, or create a new basket, you will need to add the basket to a bucket, then empty the basket.

The basket is temporary.

Adding Records to the Basket

Important

The basket will empty if you log out of Evergreen.

To add a record to the basket, first find the record by conducting a search in the Staff Catalog.

Then, check the checkbox that appears between the result number and the cover image of the desired result. The record is added to your basket, and the number next to the Basket Actions button in the search form increases.

Screenshot of the Staff Catalog page with the box checked as described above. The Basket Actions button is highlighted.

To add all records on the page, check the checkbox between the search form and the search results. All results on the page are selected.

To add records from additional pages, navigate to the desired page and check the same checkbox between the search form and the search results.

To add all search results, select Basket Actions in the search form below the Library Selector.

Caution

If your search returned many results, this action may take a long time.
