Add textbooks to a Resource List

Using any of several methods, you can add titles to a Resource List. From the Resource List, you can enhance the records, eliminate duplicated titles, print copy barcode labels, or export or transfer the records.

Titles remain in a Resource List until you manually remove them by clicking Remove or Remove All (at the bottom of the list), or until they are automatically removed by the merge process.

To add titles to a List

On the Add titles to <list name> page, choose a method for identifying the titles to add:

• By author
• Using a list of barcode numbers
• By ISBN or barcode number
• By date

Specify a range of authors

1. Select Author in the Select by list.
2. Enter a range.
   • You can leave both boxes blank to include all of the title records that have authors identified.
   • If you leave the From box blank and enter a name in the to box, Destiny® adds all those up to and including the name in the to box.
   • If you enter a name in the From box and leave the to box blank, Destiny adds that name and all those after it.
   • If you enter the same name in both boxes, Destiny adds only records with that one name.
3. Click Add to List.

Use a list of barcode numbers

1. Select Barcode List in the Select by list.
2. Either select an existing file, or create a new list.
   • To select an existing file, click Browse to locate your file.
   • To create a new list, place the cursor in the Create a barcode list box and scan the barcodes, or type them in and click Add.
     To remove a barcode number from the list, select it and click Remove.
3. Click Add to List.

Enter numbers one at a time

1. Select Barcode or ISBN in the Select by list.
2. Scan the numbers in, or type them in and press Enter or click Add to List.

Specify a date range

1. Select Date Copies Added, Date Title Added, or Date Title Updated in the Select by list.
2. From the list that appears, select After the date, On the date, or Before the date.
3. Enter a date. Click the calendar icon for a calendar.
