Browse > Browse Results Display Options

The listing of your Browse Results are displayed on the Browse Titles page. The basic display of titles will be either as text or as thumbnail images. These titles will be organized in several columns on the page and sorted by one of four options. Depending on how your ProSeek had been set up, you may see all the results or some number of results per page. Many of these display options can be manipulated by you to help you find what you need.

You can manipulate how the results are displayed in several ways: You can (1) sort the results in different ways; (2) choose the number of columns of results to view; (3) see the number of results found and displayed; (4) move to other pages that list results (one page at a time or by jumping to a specific page); and you can (5) choose whether to view thumbnail or text images of the results.

The choices you make here will be displayed in the Browse Results Display area of the Browse Titles Page.

4. Number of Results Found and Displayed: Next to the Items Per Page option, you'll see the word "Titles" followed by numbers or a range of numbers. This number lists the total number of results found as well as the number of results displayed on that particular Browse Titles page.

Thus, if your search yielded 5 results, this would be displayed: 1 - 5 of 5. If there are more results that can be displayed on one Browse Results page, you will see something like this: 1 - 25 of 103 or 26 - 50 of 103, depending on the maximum number of results your Browse Titles page is programmed to show.

6. Choose Thumbnails: On the far right of the Display Choices section of the Browse Titles page is the button you can use to choose to view the text or thumbnail images within your results. Click on the Hide/Show Thumbnails icon to turn the thumbnails on or off.
