Bookmarking resources and searches

You may wish to bookmark a resource in order to be able to return to it quickly, or a useful search to run it again at a later date.

Bookmark a resource

On each resource page, above the "About this resource" panel on the right-hand side, you will find a "star" bookmark icon. Simply click on this, and a "bookmark" or "favourite" box will appear, depending on your browser. The "name" field should automatically be populated with the title of the resource, but this can be amended to a name of your choice.

You can save the resource in an existing bookmarks/favourites folder, or create a new folder to house it.

You may wish to re-run a particularly useful search at a later date. In the top right of each search results page you will find a "bookmark" option. Simply click on this, give your search an appropriate name and save it in your chosen bookmarks/favourites folder.
