Adding a Bibliographic Record: When you retrieve a bibliographic record, you must choose Edit or View from the toolbar before the option to Use this Record appears. Note that double-clicking the bibliographic record in a browse list opens the record, but does not enable you to append the record to your review file list until you choose Edit or View.
