Using the Results List

A successful search produces a results list of citations matching your search criteria. A citation is a reference to a document in an eBook, which lists such things as document title, publication title, and date. To view the full record associated with a citation, simply click its underlined document title.

Note: Citations on results list are not official bibliographic citations. To cite a document for notes and bibliography entries, use a standard style.

You may see your search terms highlighted wherever they appear within the results list, depending on the type of search used and if you have selected this option as part of your Preferences.

A summary of the search that produced the results list is displayed just below the page banner. To revise the current search, use the breadcrumb trail to return to the search page.

Centered above the first citation you'll find a count of the results on the current page out of the total number of results. The Previous and Next arrow icons on either side (repeated at the bottom of each page) let you go backward or forward, respectively, one page at a time. You may jump to a specific result number by typing a number in the Results box and clicking Go.

The results list also provides many useful features designed to facilitate your research. The actual features available depend on the type of search and the system settings made by your library. Click a "Related Topics" link below to find out more.

Note: Searches that result in a single matching record will take you directly to the document display page.
