FAQ: How do I save a search in the Online Library Catalog?

If you have a favorite author or subject for which you often search when using the Online Library Catalog, you can save the search. This will prevent you from having to key in the search each time and you can be alerted of new materials added to the library collection which match your searches. 

1. Log in to Your Library Account using your SNHU email (without the @snhu.edu) and password.
2. Click on the "New Search" button.
3. Search for your favorite author, subject, title, etc. or create an advanced keyword search including limits to material type, language, publication year, etc.
4. When your results are displayed, click the button marked "Save as preferred search."

   

5. The next time that you log in to your Library Account, you can click the "Preferred Searches" link to see a list of your saved searches.

   

6. Click on the "Search" link associated with any of the preferred search terms in the list to quickly execute your search.

   

7. Check the "Mark for Email" box if you would like to be alerted of new materials added to the library collection which match your searches. All results will be sent to your SNHU email address.
