Signing in allows items and searches to be saved between sessions. Sign in by clicking the Sign In button in the upper right of the page; it will say Guest until you mouse over it. You will then be asked for your BU user name and password. If you have already signed into BU during your current browser session you will not be asked for your credentials again, but it is still necessary to click the Sign In button to sign into BU Libraries Search.
Once you are signed in, any previously saved items will be displayed in the My Favorites list, the items you added during the current session will be saved, and you can organize items with labels. You can add multiple labels to an item, and you can filter your list by label. Click on the Label icon to add or remove labels.
