Do you find yourself frequently searching the catalog for new books by your favorite author or on your favorite subject? Save yourself a little bit of time by saving these searches in your library catalog account, and then you can do the search with just a click of a link.
From the KCLS homepage or from the online catalog, log into your account. You will see a button for My Favorite Searches; if you have not yet saved any searches, your list will be blank. Now do a search for something in the catalog; you may do a simple or a complex search. Notice that at the top of your results page and underneath your search terms, there are now some options that you do not see if you are not logged in.

Click on the SAVE AS FAVORITE SEARCH button to save your search. You can also tick the Exclude titles that are in my Checkout History button, if you want to only see results for items that you have not yet checked out.
Now if you return to your account and click on My Favorite Searches, you will see your search or searches displayed. On the right hand side of the screen is a Search link which will automatically do the search for you in the catalog. Once you set up your favorite searches, you'll be able to do them all quickly with just a few clicks!
