A Bit Behind the Times

I guess that our faculty and staff are not so technically adept. It was with great joy that our Library/Tech-Support staff member made a great discovery on Amazon (never mind the number of tasks this individual is also responsible for that may have distracted her from finding this earlier). Did you know that you can keep multiple "Wish Lists" for a single account and that you can name these lists? Finally-all the saved information for replacement bits like computer ink and water bottle straps are separate from the books wanted for the C.A. Library, the books wanted for personal use, and great gift ideas. Sometimes technology is grand!

Update: I had assumed of course that I was the last Amazon customer on earth to figure this out but allow me a moment to give some directions.

• From the Amazon Home Page click on the "Your Lists" button on the far right.
• On the Your Lists page look at the left hand column-select "Wish List" from under the Create a New List heading
• This will take you to a newly created page headed by your customer name and the phrase "New List"
• Now you have some choices to make in the left column again-do you wish your list to be public or private or to tell people about the list.
• Next in the left column click on "Edit List Information"
  
• You will be taken to the Sign In Page for your account
• Once you have signed in you will have the option to change the list name, add addresses for shipping list items and a few other pieces of information
• Now when you are viewing an item that you would like to add to one of your wish lists go to the write column on the item's page and scroll down until you find the "Add to Wish List Button"
• DO NOT just click the button-this will only access the list you have chosen as the default list
• Click on the arrow just next to this and you may then choose which Wish List to use or even create a new list as you work

I hope this helps any of you who have not yet found this feature. Usually I am working so fast that I tend to ignore these options. But for a multi-page wish list they are very helpful!
