The L4U iPAC includes a Bookbag feature. The Bookbag is used to group items of interest that are not necessarily accessed from the same search and then display all selected items as one list. Bookbags are local to the browser therefore, individuals on separate computers can be working with there own bookbags simultaneously.
Multiple items can be added to the Bookbag throughout an iPAC session.
The items are saved in the Bookbag until they are cleared or a new iPAC
session is started. 
To add items to the Bookbag:
1. While in the iPAC, Conduct a search
2. From the results list, Select items of interest by Clicking the check box to the left of the record.
3. Click Add To Bookbag
• If items already exist in the Book Bag this button will read Update Bookbag
4. 
A count of
items in the Bookbag will appear on screen and under the task bar
Note: The Bookbag link will only appear in the task
bar if it is currently in use. Once a bookbag is emptied, the link will
no longer appear.
Adding multiple items to a bookbag from the list view is quick and easy; however, you may also wish to view the details of an item before adding it to the bookbag. You can add an item to the bookbag while viewing the chosen record’s details. Simply view the record detail and Click the Add to Bookbag button. The button changes to red and reads Remove from Bookbag. To remove from the Bookbag, Click the Remove from Bookbag button.
Note: The Bookbag link will only appear in the task
bar if it is currently in use. Once a bookbag is emptied, the link will
no longer appear.
The Bookbag contents can be viewed at any time. Display the Bookbag by Clicking either the Display Bookbag button available from the search results screen or the Bookbag link in the toolbar from any screen.
Individual items can be removed from a Bookbag without clearing its entire contents. To remove an item from the Bookbag:
1. Click Display Bookbag or the Bookbag link
2. Deselect the check box of the item to be removed

A single Item or multiple items can be removed from a bookbag while in the bookbag view. You may wish to review the items one by one before deleting them from the bookbag. To review an item and then remove it:
