Save a list of items

You can save items to the Bookmarks tab on My Bookshelf for later use. You can also create your own lists to organize your saved items. For example, you might want to create a list for cookbooks, a list for pleasure reading, and a list for DVDs.

You must sign in to Vega to create a new list. Lists that you create remain on the system until you delete them. If you save items to My Bookshelf and later sign in, Vega also saves the items. If you don't sign in, you can only use the default list named For Later, and Vega removes your list items when you exit the system.

You can create a maximum of 400 lists.
