Booksinprint.com allows users to save their search results in "lists." Lists can be public (that is, viewable by anyone who has access to the user's account) or password protected (viewable only by the user who created the list). Lists can be added to and revised. They can be downloaded to programs that accept ASCII data (such as a spreadsheet in which you're working out your collection development budget). They can be downloaded USMARC format. They can be downloaded in vendor-specific formats for electronic orders. And they can be e-mailed (for example, you can e-mail your recommendations for titles that should be purchased for the library or e-mail a list of recommended reading to a patron or customer).
From any screen within booksinprint.com, you can click the LISTS button on the top navigation bar and you'll arrive at a list of the lists created by users at your organization. You can then view, print, download, order download or e-mail the contents of any list that isn't password protected. For libraries that are signed up for Search My Library's Catalog, patrons and staff can also search their library from the LISTS area.

Examples of how you can use lists:
Librarians: Create customized bibliographies for patrons — then print or e-mail the list. Create lists of title to acquire for collection development purposes. Faculty patrons can create lists of titles they believe the library should have. Faculty patron can create "suggested reading" lists for students. Student patrons and researchers can create comprehensive bibliographies.
Booksellers: Create "buy lists" for patrons. For example, if a patron liked a book by a particular author, the bookseller can create a list of that author's other titles (or audiobooks or videos of that author's works). Use this feature to help patrons with gift selections. For example, if a customer knows that a person likes books on the Kennedy assassination, a bookseller can create a list of all books on that topic and the customer can select titles to purchase — or include the list with a bookseller's gift certificate. When helping customers select titles for special orders, put potential purchases in a list for that customer to consider in the future. Create lists of titles to purchase from each publisher, distributor or wholesaler.
Publishers: Research subjects that are hot -- so you decide what new titles to develop. See how many titles on a subject are coming out in the next month, two months, quarter, etc.
