Titles List
Each row of the display includes a brief description for a single
title in the Library of Congress Online Catalog.
While most searches display "author," "titles"
and "date" of the work, the information in a Titles List
may vary depending on the search method used.
A Titles List display consists of an upper section,
and a lower section.
Upper Section
The upper section of the Titles List consists of a table
containing five columns of data for each title, and a block with
location information for the Library of Congress and the call number.
In addition, there are buttons allowing you to retain selections
from the screen of hits, as you move to subsequent pages in the
search results.
Parts of this display:
- Previous and Next icons display search results
before and after the current screen full.
- Resort results by: allows for reordering of the results
set by Date (ascending or descending), Title (ascending) and Author
(ascending).
- Add Limits to Search Results is for applying limits (by
date, format, language, etc.) to the current results set. See:
Limits Help Screen for more information.
- # is a temporary sequential number for the catalog record;
checkbox is used to select records for printing, saving, or emailing.
- 2nd Column displays the term or text that matched
the search (in this case -- Subject Heading). This column
veries depending on the search.
- Name: Main Author, Creator, etc. displays the name of
the main author/creator of the work.
- Full Title displays the full title of the work.
- Date displays the date of publication/creation.
- Electronic Resource Available icon is present in the
right-most column to indicate the presence of a URL (856 link) in the
bibliographic record. The link may provide access to a table of contents for the item, a publisher's description, and in some cases, to an electronic version of the item itself.
- Holdings information:
- ACCESS indicates the Library reading room where the
material may be requested.
- CALL NUMBER is used to identify and request the material.

a printer, or by electronic mail. There is also a tool that allows
you to edit your search terms, select a new type, and execute a
revised search.

the list multiple times using the drop-down menu.

the next group of titles can be displayed by selecting the
icon. Return to the previous group of titles by selecting
