Emailing or exporting records is an easy and practical way of keeping track of items you've used for assignments.

Emailing Records

To email a single record directly from your library search results, select the item to open the library record and click the e-mail icon. Add an email address in the form that pops up and click Send.

To send yourself multiple records at the same time:

  1. Save records in your results with the pin icon to the right of the item's title.
  2. Go to 'My Favourites' using the pin icon on the top tool bar.
  3. Check the boxes of the items you want to send.
  4. At the top of the page to the right of the "My Favourites" heading, click on the three dots (on highlight: "push-to" actions).
  5. Select the email option, add an email address, and send.

Email records to multiple addresses by including a comma or semi colon between each address:

Exporting Records

Exporting records is helpful if you're a regular user of citation management software (e.g. Mendeley, Endnote, etc.). Using the library search, you'll be able to download RIS records.

To do that, just display an item's record and click the EXPORT RIS icon, then choose the format and download.
 

Use the export RIS button to export the record information in Record Management format.

 

If you're not using Record Management software, we suggest you save your records instead using your library account. Follow the link below for information on saving records.
