how the resource shelf works—summary
The Shelf contains two sections: 1) the Catalog,
and 2) Resource
Reviews. No special knowledge is required to use either section.
|
The Catalog
|
The Catalog is implemented as an automated table which contains a
wide variety of arts-related citations, each one describing a single
resource or reference work. With the help of the table's automatic
features, you use the Catalog to identify just those resources that
match your arts interests. Once you identify them, you use the table
to help decide which ones you want to access. Then you use the table
to access them. With the help of the Catalog you can automatically search for arts
citations containing keywords you specify. You can sort
citations that result from searches, print lists of citations, and manipulate information about
listed arts resources and references in a variety of other ways.
Some of the resources cited in the Catalog are accessible via the
Internet; others are not:
- If a cited reference work is one of Electricka's Resource
Reviews or is located on a page at another web site, the Catalog
contains a link to it. Click the link and the cited web page opens while the Catalog
remains open.
- Many traditional resources, such as printed dictionaries,
museums, or libraries, are not located online. Others have a web
site as well as an off-line component. The Catalog contains
information that helps you locate and access them in either case.
To access the Catalog:
- Click the image of the library cart in the Resource Shelf box
(located on the right of many pages). The page containing the Catalog will
open. You can start keyword searching immediately.
- The Resource Shelf box with the image of the library cart is
located on most pages at Electricka's web site and on many menus.
- Access the Catalog
now. Click the image of the library cart at the right side of this
page, or:
click
here.
