• If the details don't come up, you can add bibliographic details manually (How do I do that?).

• Click Save in My Bookmarks.

• If the list you wish to add the resource to shows on the right, click Add to List. If it is not present, type the list into the search bar and it will appear, click Add to List. (You must ensure that the reading list you need has already been assigned to your ‘My Lists’ section (How do I do that?).
