The Interface Design
The Work Area
The work area includes five search options that remain the same until you enter a database. The area below the search options change as you make search selections. The example below shows the initial work area for “Browse by Subject.”
-
Browse by Subject: Allows subject searching based on selections that search across or link to appropriate databases.
-
Browse by Type: includes a list of research sources by type, e.g. almanacs, encyclopedias, library catalogs, statistics, etc. Once a type is selected, a list of databases appears.
-
Databases A-Z: is a list of all databases available to you. If your home institution, the higher education institution you attend, has chosen to do so, the list of databases they provide in addition to GALILEO databases may also be included in the A-Z list. You may browse the entire list or browse by titles beginning with a selected letter of the alphabet. You may also search by specific database name or keyword.
-
Journals A-Z: includes all magazines, newspapers, and scholarly journals available to you. You may select a letter of the alphabet or number 0-9 to browse a subset of the list. You may also search by specific title or important word or words at the beginning or within a title.
-
Search: allows simultaneous searching over multiple databases.
