You may notice a difference between the number of items on your list in the old catalog and the number of imported items that appear on your For Later Shelf. This can happen because of adjustments made to the catalog records during the transition. If you had multiple Saved Title Lists in the old catalog, they will be merged when they are imported and will appear as one list on your For Later Shelf. 

Once your import is complete, you can sort your items, moving them to your completed and in-progress shelves. You can also use your import as inspiration for new lists, using the Lists, opens a new window feature. 

Always Private:

• Your current checkouts, holds and fees.
• Your library card number and password.
• Your borrowing history - if you've enabled it.

Borrowing History
Borrowing history lets you view all items you’ve checked out. By default, the Library does not retain your borrowing history. You can save your borrowing history by enabling this feature within your account setting. If this option is selected, your borrowing history will remain confidential per our policies. You can disable your borrowing history anytime, which will also delete your history. Once your Borrowing History is deleted, it cannot be retrieved. Update your settings at My Settings > Account Setting > Borrowing History.

Shelves
Shelves allow you to track titles you’ve enjoyed or would like to enjoy. Shelves are private by default. You can make specific items private even if you make your shelves public. Private notes and personal tags for any title will always be private. Removing a title from your shelf will remove your ratings and comments as well. Update your settings at My Settings > Privacy > My Shelves.

Activity Feed
Your activity feed is public by default. Your feed displays items added to your public shelves and lists, comments and ratings you’ve added to specific titles and lists and comments by others you follow. Make your feed private at My Settings > Privacy > My Feeds.

Lists
A list is a collection of titles related to a specific topic or idea. After you create your list, set the privacy settings. You have multiple options, including making the list private.

Your library records are protected by state law (RCW 42.56.310, RCW 42.56.210). Unless required by law or requested by you, the Library does not share information about your records.
