Ranked List

A Keyword--Ranked Title List shows results from a Keyword--all fields (ranked) search. 

Each row of the display includes a brief description for a single title in Minerva.  A Keyword--Ranked Title List display consists of five columns:

relevance

  • [#] is a temporary sequential number for the catalog record; the checkbox is used to select records for printing, saving, or e-mailing.
  • [Relevance] shows the level of relevance (5 relevance bar =most relevant, 1/2 relevance Half bar =least relevant)
  • [Full Title] displays the full title of the work.
  • [Author] displays the main author/creator of the title.
  • [Date] displays date of publication.
  • [Library and Location] gives the name of the owning library and location within the owning library. "Multiple Locations" indicates copies in multiple U of L locations or multiple copies of the item.  Click to obtain location information from the record display.
  • [Call Number] displays unless the item is held in multiple locations. (Title has multiple holdings)
  • [Status] supplies circulation availability. "Click Title for Status" indicates that complete circulation status is only available on the Brief View or Long View record display. "Circulation status not available" on the Title List or "No information available" on a record display indicates that an item is not yet in its proper location and assistance can be found at any service desk.

Search, Navigation, and Output Information:

Several lines of information relating to the search are displayed below the button bar, and at the top and bottom of the Keyword--Ranked Title List on the screen:

  • Search Results:
    • A legend identifying the number of currently displayed titles (e.g., Displaying 1 through 25 of 270).
    • A search in Minerva never results in more than 10,000 catalog records, even when more than 10,000 records match the search. If the results set is truncated at 10,000, a warning message displays in the Keyword--Ranked Title List display.
  • Navigation Icons:
    In the Title List, it is possible to page forward and backward, one screen at a time, using the previous and next icons.
  • Clear Selected or Retained Selected:
    Use these buttons to select or clear any records from the current search.  Select catalog records for printing, saving or e-mailing by selecting the check box next to the record number in the first column of the display.
