Resource Lists - Digital

With a Digital Resources Resource List, you can collect links to digital resources that interest you, and view the content anytime. The list can help you when you are researching a subject or preparing a classroom project or report. You can also print out an MLA-formatted Citation List of these resources.

If it is a Public List, you can click the links to view the content or print the information in the List.

To add digital resources to a List:

To add a digital resource to your List, click Add to this List on the Digital Resources tab of any Search Results list.

To remove digital resources from a List:

To remove a digital resource from your List, click Remove next to the resource, or, to empty the list, click Remove all at the bottom of the list.

Citations

A citation is a brief description of the source of the digital resource.

If you need to cite the resources you use when doing homework, researching a paper, or planning a class, Destiny® can help. When you add a digital resource to your List, Destiny automatically creates an MLA citation using information from the resource. These citations make up the Citation List that you can print.

If some of the citations are not as accurate or as complete as you would like, click Citation next to the resource to update the information.

To print the Resource List or a Citation List:

If you want to print a List, you have two choices:

• If you want a printout of the information in the Resource List, click Printable. It includes the title, the vendor, the material type, the producer, date of production, audience grade level, run time, and a summary of the content.
• If you need an MLA-formatted Citation List:
  1. At the bottom of the Resource List, highlight Citation List next to Create.
  2. Type in a name for the citation list.
  3. Click Go!.

Either list opens in a new browser window. To print the list, use your browser's Print option.

To save a List:

If you logged in, Destiny saves all the tabs of your Resource List for you, even if you log out.

You can also save your Digital Resources List as a text file. From the I want to list, select Save as text, and then click Go!.

If you did not log in, you need to print it out.

To email a List:

If you need access to the information in your List outside of Destiny, you can email your Digital Resources List: From the I want to list, select Email this List, and then click Go!.

To create another Resource List:

At times, you may want or need more than one List. For example, you may want one for the resources you are using for a research paper and another for personal use.

If Add list appears on the Resource Lists page or on a selected List page, you can add a new List.
