An add-on information from one of my colleague:

> J'ai fait le tour des grands catalogues suisses:
> 
> rero: Panier / Korb / Cart
> rero doc: Ma liste / Meine Liste / My list
> bibliothèque nationale: Ma liste / Meine Liste / My list
> nebis: Panier / korb / Basket
> swissbib: Mon swissbib / My swissbib (en all.) / My swissbib
> bibliothèque nationale de France: panier
> 
But we, from friportail.ch, would prefer 'Collections'.
