This function shows a list of sets from past searches and lets you:

• Select a set and see the list of records in the set.
• Sort a set and see the list of records displayed in the order set in the Options/Sort function.
• Modify a set by crossing it with another search term.
• Narrow or widen your search by crossing sets.
• Delete sets from the list.
• E-mail to yourself or someone else the bibliographic details of all the records in a set.
• Save a set in a directory or on a diskette.
• Choose a set of records for the scope, so that all future search requests will be performed on the selected set of records rather than on the entire database.

The Browse function enables you to scroll through an alphabetical index. Some of the indexes available are the Author Index, the Title Index, the Subject Index, and any other index that your library has made available to you.

Choose the index you'd like to browse through, then enter the text from which you'd like to start browsing. This text will appear at the top of a scrollable list. For example, entering a will give you an alphabetical list starting at a. Entering great will give you an alphabetical list starting from great. You will then be able to scroll down to entries such as Great Britain and Great Danes.

The Browse List displays an alphabetical list of entries, shows the number of records for each entry and indicates whether or not there are cross-references for the entry. Click on an underlined entry to see the associated records for the entry. Click on the cross-reference symbol X to see a list of cross-references.

There are 3 ways to go to a Browse List:

• By using the Browse function and choosing an Index to browse. After typing in the text that you want to appear at the top of the list, the Browse List will be displayed.
  
• By using the Search function. When viewing a record, you may click on an underlined tag and receive a Browse List of entries for the tag. For example, if you click on the Author tag, you will receive an alphabetical list of authors, with the current author at the top of the list.
  
• While viewing a list of cross-references. Clicking on an underlined tag will present a Browse List. For example, clicking on the Heading tag will present an alphabetical list of entries with the current heading at the top of the list.

A List of Records is displayed as a result of a Search or Get request or from a Browse List by clicking on an underlined entry. You can also choose a previous List of Records by selecting Search History.

A List of Records may be viewed in a variety of formats. The default format is set using the Options/Display function. No matter which option you set as the default, you will always be able to see the Full View of the record by clicking on an underlined record number in a List of Records.

Various actions may be performed on a List of Records, such as filtering, mailing and saving the list.

In the Full View, you have the option to see the record in a variety of formats which change the tags from standard ALEPH tags to name tags or alphanumeric tags. The card catalog style may also be selected.

The Full View has links that allow you to jump to:

• A Browse List
• Other, similar records, for example, other records that share the same subject
• Holdings information
• External files, such as an electronic journal
