After selecting "Add Repository Citation" the Repository Search page appears.

6. Click the blue SELECT button located on the top-right of the page. You will be taken back to the Edit Reading List page.

7. Click SAVE when done to return to the Reading Lists page.

IMPORTANT:  If the item from the repository is an electronic item, then after you select it from the repository you MUST click the SET COMPLETE button on that item in the Reading List in order for it to show up in a Course Reserves search in Knox Primo.

When finished, go to the next section: Place Requests to Move Items to Reserves.
