An individual title search can be conducted by Title , Year published , Language , Co-author , Genre , Periodical , Subject.
The search can be narrowed by entering one or more keywords; however, at least one keyword must be entered.
To scroll through the entire bibliography, the starting date (1934) should be entered under Year Published in the field on the left, and the final date of interest in the field on the right.
Searches are conducted on the entire bibliography unless the Search available texts only option has been selected, in which case the search is limited to material contained in the library collection.
Titles are listed chronologically by leaving the default command by date selected. Otherwise they can be called up alphabetically by selecting the by title option before starting the search.
Once all of the relevant search options have been selected, click on the Search button's labyrinth icon.
The next screen shows the search results. These will be either the requested title and a brief summary (title, year of publication and genre) or the chronological or alphabetical list of titles satisfying the search criteria. To view the detailed description of a title, click on the button to its left.
The detailed description page of a title lists all the information necessary for bibliographic entries and citations, including the title and subtitle, editor, year published, place published, number of pages, language and genre. Further information about the text can be viewed by clicking on the three labyrinth icons at the bottom of the page. The first button, labelled Concepts, leads to a page of information about the conceptual structure of a text (subject), such as the main issues dealt with and/or the main fields of inquiry of the work. The second, Other Versions, brings up a list of events in the editorial history of a text , including its appearance in or as part of other editions and/or in translation. The Availability button opens a page indicating whether the volume is contained in the library collection, and lists commands for reading available texts on-line or requesting that they be sent via e-mail.
