1. Saving Items to Your List:
   While searching the catalog, you can click ‘Save for Later’ on any item. This automatically adds the item to a list called ‘Uncategorized.’ Once you’ve saved an item, the button will change to say ‘View List.’ Clicking this will take you directly to your saved list.
