Database Descriptions and Resource Notes
Some databases in the Resources menu may have "database descriptions" and/or "resource notes" attached.
To view a database description and/or resource note:
- If a resource note is included for a database, a Resource Note icon
is
shown following the database name. - If a database description is included for a database, it may be displayed
below the database name or as “mouseover” text when the cursor is positioned
over the Resource Note
icon
.
- Click the Resource Note icon
next to the name of the database for which you wish to view
the resource note.
- The resource note displays in an additional browser window.
- The resource note includes the Full Name of the associated
database, a URL for the database (or the associated institution; such
as a library's Home Page), and Note Text (additional information about
the associated database).
- Click the URL link to open the associated page in an additional browser window.
- Click the Close button to close the resource note and return to the previous search screen.
NOTE: If a URL is included in the Resource Note, the name of the Resource displays as a hyperlink in the Resources menu. Clicking the Resource name opens the associated page in a new browser tab. Once the new tab is opened and another Resource name link is selected, the web page for the newly selected link will overwrite the previous content in the tab (i.e., only one Resource name link can be open at any given time).
