Bookmark Feature in Horizon

The Bookmark feature in Horizon allows you to save a list of bib or item records, similar to the My List feature in ValleyCat. Some features of this tool include:
  • There is no limit to the number of records that can be saved to a list.
  • You can print the list or save it to a file.
  • The list will be saved even if you Change User, but it will disappear when you close Horizon. (Note: ValleyCat’s My List feature is better to use to build more long term lists of titles.)
  • Bookmarking is available from the following views: Titles List or Title Alphabetical; Bibliographic Detail, Copies and Call Number List.
  • Bookmarking a title record provides title-specific information such as author, title, publication date and publication place, etc.
  • Bookmarking an item record provides item-level information such as call number, status, location and collection as well as title and author.
