About Titles Lists
Titles Lists provide a brief descriptive display of two or more records, generated from Keyword Search and Advanced Search - as well as the Titles beginning with, Title (main) beginning with, LCCN, and Standard Numbers (LCCN-ISBN-ISSN) options of Browse. Titles Lists are also produced when you select headings containing multiple records from Headings Browse Lists of authors/creators, subjects, names/titles, or series/uniform titles. Call Numbers Browse incorporates a hybrid combination of features from both Browse and Titles Lists.
From a Titles List you can re-sort your search results and adjust the number of records displayed per page. You can select one or more records for printing, saving, emailing or citing - with the option to either Select All records on the current page of the Titles List or to mark individual records by checking the box to the left of the brief record information. Records you select will be retained when you page forward and backward through the Titles List. After making your selection, click the Print, Save, Email, or Cite button to the right of Select All.
