Arena 2.0:My media

Revision as of 11:29, 11 February 2011

My Media

My Media is a convenient basket to store items that interest you as you browse the library. You view and work with items in the basket at any time. For example, you may use the basket to collect items that you are considering borrowing. You may then review the items in the basket and select one or more of them to reserve.

Whatever you add to My Media's basket remains after you log off from Arena, so you can return to it the next time you log in. Your My Media basket is accessible only to you. No other Arena users can see it.
