In the search results list, click +Add next to the titles you want to add to the group. The title then moves to the Selected Titles list, which contains the title, author, and first ISBN.

Update Titles: You can relate, or group, title records, so that any copy of a title in a group can fulfill a hold placed on another title in the group. Destiny considers all copies of all titles in a related Titles group to be equal candidates for fulfilling a hold request placed on any one of the titles in the group. Use: if you create a group of titles for a 3rd grade literacy standard, a teacher comes in and request a specific title and it is checked out, if you place a hold on the checked out title, Destiny will pull a related title for the on hold item which will fulfill the request.
