When you "SIGN IN" you can

• check your account to renew books or see your due dates,
• place a book on hold so you can pick it up at the library later,
• make lists of items, and also save these items to a permanent list to use the items later.

"My List" allows you to save items that interest you, and you can print them to take to the stacks, or save them permanently.
