Please note, there is a "Save search" and a "save" item and a "Saved lists"  feature in the catalog. Saving items are only specific to your session and will time out/disappear (as of 2024) unless added to a list. Saved searches can be referred back to, but the results may update periodically. 

You can do a search in the catalog and then save the items (star icon) to add them to a list that you can get back to for that session here: 

save star button and arrow pointing to upper righthand corner of results list

Saving items to this list is for only that session. So, be sure to email or print or add the items to a list for later reference. If you close out of your browser or turn off your computer, you may not be able to get back to the list, even if you are signed in. You do not need to be signed into the catalog to save items to a list. 

Using the "Create list" button above in the saved items list, you can add these saved items to a Saved List to get back to after your session (under "My Account"). This is an important step if you do not want the results to expire.

To create a list and to save a search, however, you will need to be logged into the catalog. On the upper-right-hand corner of the Discovery search results screen, click the link that says 'Sign In' near the search bar:

If you aren't already logged in to MyTCC, it will prompt you to log in with your T-number and password.

Once you do a search/put together a search string that you like the results for (and maybe want to refer to in the future), you can select this link under the "Saved items" link: 

Saved searches can be accessed later under your "My Account" dropdown and are not tied to a specific session:
