Perseo, the library search engine

My favourites

"My Favourites" is a Perseo space where, among other things, you can save results and searches.
To access, click on the pin icon in the top menu or in “Menu → My Favourites”.


In the “My Favourites” section, three options appear: saved records, search history and saved searches (the latter only if you are logged in).

Save results

From the results page, you can save one or more records to retrieve them later. If you are not logged in, the records will be saved only for the duration of your query:

  • By clicking on the pin icon to the right of each result, it will be added to “My Favourites” (1).
  • You can also add results by clicking on the box to the left of each title, and then on the pin icon in the upper right (2).
  • You must log in to keep your saved records in future sessions (3).
  • Records that have already been saved are highlighted on the results page with a different background, and you can deselect them by clicking on the crossed-out pin (4).

 
Saved records are in the corresponding section of "My Favourites". If you are not logged in, the records will be saved only while you are performing the query.
In "Saved Records", several options appear:

  • Cite, send by email, etc. (1)
  • Order results (2)
  • Edit labels (3)
  • Delete records (4)

 
To return to the result page, just click on the magnifying glass in the top menu.

Labels allow you to categorise saved records and facilitate their identification and retrieval.
To use tags, you must log in and go to "My Favourites" - "Saved Records". You can assign an existing tag, create a new one, or delete it:

  • You can add or delete tags individually using the pencil icon next to each record (1).
  • You can add or delete tags globally using the pencil icon in the top menu to a group of selected records (2).
  • Click on a tag to search for all records that you have assigned that tag to (3).

Save Queries

If you have identified yourself in Perseo, you can save a search by clicking on “Save query”, which appears above the list of results.
When you click, the message “This search has been saved to your favourites” appears at the top and two options: “Activate notification for this query” (in case you want to set an alert) or “Reject”.

 
Saved queries are stored in “My Favourites” in the “Saved Searches” section.

 
You can rerun a saved query to see the results by clicking on its name.
From here you can also:

  • Subscribe to an RSS feed (1).
  • Create an alert to run automatically and send the results by email (2). The notification frequency is weekly, as long as new results matching the query are added.
  • Delete a saved query(3)

The "Search History" stores the queries made during the session; if you are logged in, you can save them permanently.
To access your search history, click on the "Menu" and you will go directly to the "Search History" or access the corresponding section from "My Favourites":


From the history, you can chronologically view all the queries you have made and re-run any of them. You can also delete them or save them as favourites, the latter if you have previously authenticated.
