My Collection enhancements
Our instructors are big fans of My Collection but they are missing features that are available for lists:
1) Sections or folders. Having tags is nice but in no way the same thing
2) Drag & Drop citations to re-order the list. Goes together with 1) - at the moment there is no way to bring structure to My Collection which makes it cluttered and takes the joy out of working with it.
3) Separate the menu options into "Suggest item for a list" and "Add item to a list" so that there is a clear distinction between adding something to your own list vs. suggesting it for someone else's list.
4) Make the private note visible in the list view of My Collection.
5) Print. This is possible for lists but for My Collection you have to export the citations before you can print them.
6) Edit item from list view instead of having to open it in full view.
We are closing this idea. Parts 3-6 are available in the new UI. Please open a new idea if you would like additional changes after using Favorites in the new UI.

Yes, yes and yes to all the features suggested by Veronika! I would also like to add that any structural/filtering elements used in ‘My Collection’ should be useable/available when adding an item from ‘My collection’ in a reading list.
