Tutorial for searching DragonQuest, the library's online catalog and Discovery Service

Sharing Search Results

Sharing/Saving from the Search Results screen

You can share or save lists of search results using the “Share” dropdown option on your list of DragonQuest search results.

You can also share through a social media account using numerous options listed within this dropdown menu.*


Sharing from the Tools menu

Social media and permalink/persistent link sharing are available within the Tools menu as you view an item within the collection.


*Librarian Tip: Sharing does not necessarily mean that those who can view your social media account can access full text of a resource. Users will still have to sign in using their DragonQuest credentials to access the material, so they must be members of the TU community to fully gain access to the resource.
