Title: Saving Search Results
Course: Library - Library Sandbox > Section: Ontario Tech Library Online: Searching Omni for Books, Articles & More

If you've found something in Omni that you want to use later, like an article or a book, you can copy the citation or save the item in several ways.

Copy a Citation

From Omni, you can get an auto-generated citation in multiple citation styles.

First, select the quotation mark icon.

Then choose the citation style you want to use and copy the citation.

Always remember to proofread the citations for accuracy. There may be errors in the citations generated by Omni, so you need to double-check.

Email Yourself a Link

Select the email icon and fill in your email address.

The email you receive will include details about the item and a link.

Copy a Link

You can also save a link to the item. Select the three dots for more options.

Then select Permalink. Instead of copying the URL from your address bar (it will expire!), use this permalink.
