My Collection
Your My Collection page gathers in one place all the titles that you have star-rated, commented on, tagged, or summarized. You can also add new titles to your collection directly from this page. From here, you can add additional tags and comments.
Use the subject headings or tags you have added to each title to zero in on a smaller group of titles in your collection.
Viewing Your Collection
To view your collection, click My Collection on the menu bar.
All titles currently in your personal collection are listed on this page, along with the star-rating (if any) you gave them. By default, titles are sorted by the date you added them, most recent first. By clicking the Sort by drop-down list at the top of the page, you can sort by date added, title, rating, author or format.
Changing How Titles are Displayed
You can customize how titles are displayed on the My Collection page. This includes specifying whether or not you see images, and the number of items on the page. Which settings you choose may depend on the speed of your Internet connection.
To change how the titles are displayed, click a different icon at the top of the page: Cover View or List View.
To change the number of items on the page, scroll to the bottom of the page, and then select 10 or 25 from the per page drop-down list box.
Filtering Your Collection
You can further sort the titles in your library by using the Narrow Collection features in the left sidebar. For details, see Filtering Search Results and Collections.
Changing the Shared View
You decide how much or how little of your collection you’d like to share with other users.
To exclude a title from public view, click the Add Details link to the right of the title to display the menu, and then click the Keep private checkbox.
Adding Content to Titles
Rating, tagging and adding comments are great ways to enrich the library’s catalogue and to make it easier to navigate your My Collection page. Remember that you can always add more to a title you’ve rated, tagged or reviewed. You will earn community credits every time you contribute.

Note: For information on the different types of information you can add, see the individual help topics on star-rating, comments, tagging, summarizing, quotations, age suitability, and content advisories.
Working With Titles in Your Collection
