The Browse function enables you to look through an alphabetical list of phrases (such as titles, authors, subjects).

To use the Browse function, choose the Browse node.

When you choose the Browse node, the pane below is displayed. Choose a base, a headings index, and type the starting text of the phrase you are looking for:



3.2 BROWSE LIST

The system displays an alphabetical list of headings for you to browse through, with the text you typed appearing near the top of the list. The system also displays the heading before your request. The number of documents associated with each heading is shown in the Docs column. When the code of the search database is the same as a library code, the Browse list will include all headings, both linked and unlinked.



Click Show to see the bibliographic records associated with a heading. These records are explained in the Show section.

To jump to a new location in the list type the new starting text in the Enter Starting Text field.

Highlight a single heading or a number of headings in the Browse List and click Save As Set to save as a set the records linked to the headings. A small window pops up, enabling you to identify the set by a name of your choice or simply to confirm the default name assigned to the set by the system.
