SEARCH HISTORY

Search terms are captured when you enter a term and the “Search” button is clicked. Terms are also captured when you select a term from the Subject Guide. Scroll down the list to see search history. To execute a search from the list, select the search term and click the “Search” button next to the Search History box or double-click the search term.

There will be one history list for the entire product, not one for each search path. Search history is automatically cleared when you either “time out” of a session or leave a session.

You may also clear the search history by clicking the “Clear History” button in the search history box. To view the Search History, click on the “Search History” button.

CREATING AND USING A MARK LIST

While viewing search results and documents, you may want to collect records in a Mark List, which allows you to set aside any documents you’re interested in and then view and/ or retrieve them all at once, rather than doing so one by one.

To add items to your Mark List, check the box just to the left of the citation. A check mark will appear in the box. To remove, simply uncheck. You may collect up to 50 documents in your Mark List. When you reach this limit you will be notified. You will then have to unmark some items in order to add more.

To view your Mark List, click on the Mark List toolbar button at the top of the page. You’ll see hyperlinks to the different categories of documents you’ve collected. Click a link to jump to that group of documents in the list. The total number of items you have marked is also shown at the top of the Mark List.

Note: Once you have exited Science Resource Center, your Mark List will be lost, unless you InfoMarked it. Also, note that your Mark List can expire after a certain period of inactivity.

EXAMPLE OF A MARK LIST

You can e-mail your Mark List or each document separately. Options for e-mail format include: HTML; plain text or plain text with bibliographic tags. Click on the e-mail icon in the left sidebar. Also, you can print citations only or the full document for each citation in each category. Click on the Format Reference for Printing link at the top of each list.

When you are viewing your Mark List, you can move your mouse over the icon for Web Page Generator and the follow- ing menu will display:

*Note: For more information on Web Page Generator, see the next section on “InfoMark Web Page Generator.”
