Info

Result List Search results can be citations, library catalog records, full text articles, books, multimedia, document summaries or abstracts, and can include links to full text. The Result List Screen has three columns: • Left - Limiters and Facets • Middle - Results Display • Right - Related Information You can hide or show the different areas by clicking the control arrows at the top of the left and right columns. Your library administrator decides whether the facets in the left column are displayed. Left - Limiters and Facets The Left Column displays the Breadbox feature, Limiters, and Facets. • Breadbox - Click the toggle arrow to open the Breadbox. The Breadbox keeps track of the numbers of results, your search terms, search options, and clusters applied to your search. • Limit your results – Apply limiters right from the Result List. Select any of the limiters displayed and click Update. A revised Result List displays. (You can refine your search even more by clicking the Show More link under Limit your results.)

• Facets – You can narrow by source type, subject, journal, author, and more. This feature, also known as “clustering,” is helpful if you want to discover the major subject groups for your topic without having to browse multiple pages of results, or checking individual articles to see if they are relevant. o To narrow your results, check the box for one or more subject terms in a section of your choice and click Update. A new Result List, limited to the chosen term or terms is displayed and the list of subject terms is refreshed. For more info, see Facets. Middle - Results Display Results Display – The articles that were found are displayed in the center of the Result List Screen. You can also access the Result Sort, Page Options, and Alert/Save/Share drop-down menus from the Results column. • The article title link takes you to the citation information and/or the full text. Place your mouse over the Preview icon to view the Abstract. • The HTML Full Text link takes you directly to the full text of the article. • The PDF Full Text link takes you to a PDF version of the full text. The PDF will open in the Adobe ® Reader®. • The Audio Summary link prompts you to download or listen to audio summaries. (Business Book Summaries database only.) • Add to Folder – To save an article to the Folder, click the Add to Folder link to the right of the Relevancy indicator, or inside the Article Preview that you hover over with your mouse. • Subjects – Subject Terms that are assigned to each item are displayed in the result list. • Result List Sort – Click this link to select one of the following result list sorting options: Date Descending, Date Ascending, Author, Source, or Relevance. • Page Options – Click this link to view the page display options. • Alert/Save/Share – Click this link to view alerting, linking and bookmarking options.
