Bookbags Overview

Bookbags are containers. They can be used for any number of purposes: to keep track of books you have read or books you would like to read, to develop a class reading list or a reading list for your book club, even to keep a list of books you would like for your birthday. Their use is only limited by your creativity.

Creating Bookbags

There are two ways to create a bookbag. Through My Account click My Bookbags

  • Under Create a new Bookbag, enter a name for your new bookbag.
  • Decide if you would like to Share the contents of the bookbag or not, and click Submit.


Or, while you're still logged in with your username and password, from any search you can create a bookbag

  • Click Create a new bookbag and enter your bookbag's name.

Sharing Bookbags

Bookbags can either be private, and only viewable by you, or public, and viewable by anyone who knows the web address of the bookbag. By default, all bookbags are private, and you must explicitly instruct Evergreen to allow others to view the contents of a bookbag. You can choose to share a bookbag from My Bookbags in My Account.


You can give the web address of your bookbag to anyone with whom you want to share it

  • Click View next to your shared bookbag. Evergreen will open a new tab or window with the public view of your bookbag.
  • Bookmark the address of this public view or copy and paste it to share with others.

Adding Items to a Bookbag

As with creating a bookbag, you must be logged into My Account to add to a bookbag. Once logged in with your username and password, from any search you can add individual items to a bookbag.

  • From your search, choose a title that interests you. Within that title, click the More Actions dropdown menu.
  • Under Add to bookbag click the name of the bookbag to which you wish to add the title.


Removing Items from a Bookbag
