Displaying Records
General display:
If a search results in only one item,
the display format will be a full record. If a search results in multiple
items, the default display is a brief record list, the format of which
depends on the index searched. For example, a subject search for "Maine
civil war 1861 1865" will result in a list of subject headings beginning
with these words. A keyword search for "Maine civil war" will
result in an alphabetical list of titles whose records contain these words.
Numbers precede letters in title list displays.
Extended display When viewing
a brief record list, click the Extended Display button to display the
location codes (e.g."O" for Orono) next to each title. If a
list of subject headings is displayed, Extended Display will show both
location codes and up to five titles under each subject heading.
Full record To view the
full record, click on the title itself. Full records include author, title,
publishing information, subject headings, location, call number, and circulation
status.
MARC display To view a record in
MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) format, click the MARC Display button.
This format may be useful if an ISSN, ISBN, or OCLC accession number is
needed.
