Sidebar Categories
- The sidebar includes a helpful list of Keywords, Authors, and Resource Types to click and search. Each category is sorted by the number of times it appears in the collection.
- The category lists are not exhaustive, but can help narrow down a list of resources. You can choose more than one category for your search, but that means only those resources tagged in all the categories your choose will appear.
- Example: Click keywords “ Dr. A. Martinson”, “Journal Article”, and “Dementia” to find only journal articles by Dr. A. Martinson on the topic of dementia.
