X - ?
I thought there may be a ship's name starting with X but did not find one. Lots of files X and Series X but I've chosen to go with some eXtra tips.
Add to a list
If you are finding resources that you wish to revisit at a later date, it is a good idea to add them to a Trove list. To do this you need to sign up for a free account from the Trove home page.
The help page provides instructions on how to create your own lists in Trove.
The method of adding AJCP records to Lists requires a different approach to adding a newspaper or article within Trove to a list.
First method
What to do if you are already viewing a record you want to add to a list
- Copy the individual URL for the image from the Cite option
- In a second tab in your browser select Lists under your profile name
- Choose the list where you want the item to appear
- Choose Add a web page and paste in the URL for the image
- It is a good idea to write a reason for adding it to your list, one may not remember!
 |
| Adding the link to an image |
The item now appears at the end of the list. The words that were added as the title in the previous step now become the direct link to the image.
Second method
1. Search for your required item.
Here I have selected the first result from my search "Frederick G. Mann" AND nuc:"ANL:AJCP"
 |
| Portion of selected item page |
2. BEFORE you Get the item, scroll right down to the bottom of this page well past the Get and Cite this buttons
find these options at the bottom of the selected link page,
I hope these tips will help you make best use of all the family finds you have made in the AJCP.
3. Once you are below the subject headings added by the librarians you will see these options
find these options at the bottom of the selected link page,
before you Get the record
Once you have chosen +Add to list this screen appears
Lists can be public or private, and if made Public they can be searched.
Have you kept a list of the links in the AJCP that you would like to explore further? Here's my fledgling Trove list of links to remind me where to look.
Here's an extra tip from Tim
Just a reminder that if you’re frustrated by the size of the images you can download from the AJCP in Trove (only 1000px wide), you can use Dezoomify to get high-res versions: https://t.co/vS8XG6cnnX

Good tip about deZoomifying! I love Trove’s lists and tags!!
ReplyDeleteI'd be lost without my endless lists, they are so useful.
DeleteThanks for this step by step. I’ll come back to it for sure
ReplyDeleteExcellent information. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love letter X posts! Always such variety.
It's hard to believe the blogging challenge is almost over for 2021. Down to the after survey, reflections, and the road trip sign-up.
Plus, I'm taking part in the Bout of Books read-a-thon in May. So much excitement!
