6. Browse

Browsing the site is an excellent way to get an overview of the site's content. You can view the wide list, or you can apply a number of filters to narrow the content in your Browse List.

6.1. Browse Page

Browse

A. Content Dashboard

By default, search results will contain all content types. The numbers next to each content type tell you the number of results in each.

You can choose to view the results from a particular content type by clicking on one of the tabs.

B. Browse Navigation

Browse Navigation gives you the ability to move through your Browse List. You can move through your list page by page, or you can jump to a particular page.

The Browse Navigation also appears at the bottom of the page.

C. Browse List

For each entry in the Browse list, you will see:

Title
Content type
Image icon: The camera icon will indicate if an article has an image associated with it.
Biographical information: Biographies will display life dates and activity/profession.
Source: This indicates the original source of publication.

At a Glance pages include links to articles on a particular topic. In the Browse List, you will see links to both the At a Glance page for a particular topic and the associated articles themselves.

D. Print & Email

The Print button opens a new window with a printable version of the current page of your Browse List.

The Email button opens a new window with a form to fill out to email your Browse parameters. Clicking on the link in the email will open the same Browse List.

E. Filter Results

Select an Era and/or a Category to limit your browse list. You can click the plussigns to see more specific options.

You can only select one Era and one Category. Selecting a second option will switch the filter from the previous selection.

To remove a filter, select "All" at the top of the list.
