Using View Tabs with Search Results

When you retrieve search results, you can change the View to better meet your needs. We will explore the Doc/Results, Document Results and Browse views in this Quick Tip, designed and developed by Library Services' Instructional Design and Training Division for Cataloging Distribution Service. This Quick Tip will take about 3 - 4 minutes to complete.

You may leave this tutorial at any time by clicking anywhere on the Cataloger's Desktop banner at the top of your screen.

Doc/Results View - This view provides a combined hyperlinked "hit" list in the left panel with the full-text document on the right side of your screen. This is the default view after you have performed a search.

Document View - Your search results will appear in the full-text of the chosen cataloging resource.

Results View - You will see your "hits" in a hyperlinked list. When you click on a link, you will be taken to the full-text Document View for that hit.

Browse View - You will see a list of Cataloger's Desktop resources in the left panel and the content of a selected resource in the right panel.

In this scenario, we will select the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules and search for the term "colophon."

To start the tutorial, click the Search view tab.
