Help: Email

You can email from any Full Record, Marked List or My Archive Saved Items page by following the Email link in the side panel.

You can email directly from an individual Full Record page, or you can email items from the Marked List or My Archive Email Items pages. If you wish to email items from Marked List or My Archive, you must first select the items you wish to email by clicking the Select this item checkbox corresponding to the item(s) you wish to select or the Select all items on this page checkbox at the top of the page.

The Email page displays an email form with the record you wish to email beneath it. To send the email:

  1. Type your name in the Your name box to indicate who sent the email.
  2. Type your email address and/or any other email address(es) to which you wish to send your items into the Email Address(es) box.
    Additional addresses should be separated by a semi-colon and a space.
  3. Type the subject heading you wish to give your email into the Subject box.
    By default this will say 'Selected Monthly Catalog item' but you can edit this.
  4. Select the citation format in which you want the items emailed from the Citation format options: Plain text (short citation), Plain text (full citation) or Format compatible with ProCite, EndNote, Reference Manager and RefWorks.
  5. Choose to send the email as either HTML or Plain text format. The default option is HTML. Click the HTML option if you wish to include durable URLs in your email.
  6. Type your comments into the notes box below the record.
  7. Click the Send email button.

Click the Clear form link if you wish to clear the form and return to the default settings.

Once you have clicked the Send email button a confirmation page will be displayed and your email will be sent to the address you supplied.

From the Email page you can also:

What will I receive in my email?

The contents of your email will depend on the type of item(s) you selected, the format and whether you have chosen to send the email as HTML or Plain Text.

If you have sent an individual item directly from the Full Record, you will receive that item in the appropriate format with any notes you added.

If you have sent multiple items either from Marked List or My Archive, you will receive the items in the appropriate format listed in the email. Any notes you added will be displayed below the item.

Plain Text format

By default, records will be emailed in short citation format, that is, containing the information that appears on the Search Results page. You can choose to have all the information available on the Full Record page emailed to you by choosing the full citation format option.

Format compatible with ProCite, EndNote, Reference Manager and RefWorks

If you have chosen the Format compatible with ProCite, EndNote, Reference Manager and RefWorks option your email will contain the full citation for each item in RIS format to be used with the citation management software packages listed.

HTML or Plain Text

HTML is the default option for the format of your email.

If you have chosen the HTML Format option your email will contain durable URL links for each citation.

If you have chosen the Plain Text option your email will not contain any durable URL links.
