Search Results

The results of an Online Selection & Acquisitions search are used to locate an item to be placed in consideration for purchase, and to place those items on a list for later review.

• If multiple databases were searched, the initial search results screen displays the number of results for each configured database.  You must click the underlined database name to view the items matching the search term for that database.

• If a single database was searched, the initial search result will be the list of items matching the search term.

Note: If your library has integrated OSA with Library•Solution, local holdings and circulation statistics information is displayed in the results set.  If a record links to a MARC record in Libary•Solution that contains multiple ISBNs a "light bulb" symbol displays to the left of Local Holdings (as shown below) to indicate that a ToolTip message displays if you place the mouse pointer over the light bulb symbol.

Title Information Symbols: When any of these symbols are displayed below the title information, click the appropriate symbol to view Author Notes, Character Information, Reviews, Chapter Excerpts, Title Summary, or Table of Contents.  See Title Information Symbols for details about the information each icon provides when clicked.
