Images

Depending on the collection you are currently using, the images you find may include photographs, illustrations, charts, maps, artwork, or other types of graphics. Images can be included within the text of a document or as image-only documents in the Multimedia tab. When viewing a results list, you'll know a document contains some kind of image if you see the icon.

Images embedded within a text document may initially be displayed on the document display page in a smaller size, known as a thumbnail. Using a reduced size enables the search system to send the data quickly over the Internet. In some cases, you can enlarge the graphics to full size by clicking on the image. Some collections initially display a text link that when clicked shows the full image.

In some collections when a document contains multiple images, you may navigate to the previous and next image of the current work using the Previous and Next links within the navigation bar provided. You may also enter an image number, or if available, a page number, and click on the GO button to be taken directly to that image or page. Note that image navigation controls are only available in select databases.

When printing documents with graphics, the images are enlarged to full size and integrated with the text. Note that while you can e-mail documents that contain images, only the text portion of the document will be sent, along with a link to image.

If available in PDF, you will find a link to the PDF version of the document.

Some collections allow you to limit your search so that results only contain documents with images.
