Search Results List
A Search Results list displays results from Subject, Author or Author (sorted by Title) searches from the Basic Search page in four columns. A search for Shakespeare W in Author and Author (sorted by title) displays the following results:
Author
Author (sorted by title)
The columns in the Search Results List contain useful information:
- [#] may include an
 icon. Click on the icon to view related search terms or scope notes from author and subject authority records.
- [Titles] indicates the number of catalog records for each search result.
- [Heading] refers to the subject or author entered in the search (select the heading to see a Title List for that Search Result).
- [Heading Type] reveals whether the subject heading is from the Library of Congress or from another classification scheme, or whether the author heading is a personal or corporate name.
Note: A "0" (zero) in the Titles column means that no catalog records use the heading; instead users should select to learn the heading actually used for the relevant catalog records.
DISPLAY TIPS:
- If there are more search results than will display on the screen, the next group of results can be displayed by selecting the
 icon. Return to the previous group of headings by selecting the  icon.
- After displaying a single title or Title List by clicking on one of the Titles or Search Results, return to the Search Results List by selecting the
 icon from the button bar displayed at the top of the screen.

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 Search Results on the screen:
- Search Request:
A description of the search is displayed after this label (e.g., Subject = alternative medicine, Author = chomsky noam). The text before the = is the name of the search method used, and the text after the = is the actual search performed.
- Search Results:
This line shows the number of currently displayed headings (e.g., Displaying 1 through 50 of 1743). Subject, Author and Call Number searches are set to "browse" the entire Catalog for the search term entered and all terms following in alphabetical order. Since this method does not create a distinct record set, the number of search results displaying on each page will state: Displaying 1 through 50 of 50. Select "Navigation Icons" (see below) to move through the catalog records.
- Navigation Icons:
In Search Results, it is possible to page forward and back, one screen at a time, using the and buttons.
- Print, Save or E-mail:
The only way to save or e-mail a Headings List display is through the Web browser functions normally found under the File menu.
