My Favorites: while pinning item, allow user to choose label
When a user pins an item to My Favorites from the search results or detail view, the item goes to My Favorites without a label. Users would like to choose the label at the time they pin it.
Otherwise, they have to pin things, then go into My Favorites and go through all the things they just pinned a second time. By this time the user may not recall the specific reason they pinned it. We would like My Favorites to work similar to Pinterest and other similar tools, where the user can assign a tag/label as they are pinning, which is when they know why they want to save the item for later. If they can't do it while they are pinning, they will have to perform additional actions later to assign labels, and try to recall why they pinned the item at the earlier time.
USE CASE: A user is reviewing a result list. They want to pin items that they want to use now for part 1 of a paper, and pin items that they want to use later for part 2 of a paper, which is due later in the semester. The user pins items while reviewing the result list, but cannot assign labels at that time. After pinning items from the result list, they have to go to My Favorites and add labels for items they already decided they want, and have to then remember whether they wanted them for Part 1 of their paper or Part 2.

The same interface should be visible when I add only one title to favourites, no matter if it's directly from the short title list of from the full title view.
