If the Results tab lists one or more records*, and you click one of those records, then that record will be displayed comprehensively on the Details tab.
* Each object description in a database is saved in a so-called record. So, a record contains data that belongs together because it describes for instance one publication (author, title, number of pages, etc.), or one museum object, or one archive piece.
Which detail presentation types are available depends on the database. (The buttons to switch between presentation type can be found at the near top of the column to the left.)
- In the Library catalogue you can choose between a Detail display and Catalogue card . How many copies of this publication are currently available for borrowing, is stated at the bottom of both presentations. There, click the blue i button to display specific information about the available copies.
- In the Museum collection you can choose between an Extended display and a Short display (without image). You can click on images to display them enlarged in a new window. From there you can also print the image.
- For the Archives there is only one presentation type available. This concerns a full presentation of the record, with beneath it a hierarchy structure: in here, for the retrieved record, you’ll also see all higher level records in the hierarchy.
In detailed display you will only see one record at a time. You can browse to the detailed display of other records from the search result by clicking the two inner coloured arrows at the top of the record; with the outer arrows you’ll browse to the first or last record in the result.
Above the record, there is a checkbox. Click it to mark the record, and it will be included in your personal selection. That selection of data can be used later on (from the Selection tab) to print out, or to send via e-mail, for example.
You deselect a record by clicking a marked checkbox again.
The currently displayed record can be printed simplified: click the Print button in the column to the left, to do so.
After a Simple search in more than one database simultaneously, on the Results tab you’ll first get to see how many records were found per database. This display is called Overview . From the detailed display of a record you can return to the overview by clicking the Overview button in the column to the left. But you’ll probably never need to return to the overview, because from the current presentation you can also directly retrieve the search result from another database. Below the Overview button there are buttons with the names of the other databases in which you searched. Click such a button to open the search result of that database.
If you want to search further on a new word within the current search results, then click the Refine search button. This way you open the Search tab again, where you’ll find the Search in results option already marked. Enter a new search.
In the detailed display itself there are also possibilities to search further on one of the datums that are being shown. Move the mouse cursor over the data of a field, and if the concerning text turns red, you can click it to search the current database further on that word or name. So, if you click the name of an author or creator for instance, you’ll search for all works of this person.
In Archives you can open records that are linked to the current one in detailed presentation this way, via the hierarchy structure in the detailed display.
Via the Log in button, which is present on several tabs, you may log in (if you are a registered borrower). It allows you to make reservations or save search profiles.
