Results lists of large numbers can be refined by adding terms to the search in any of the same selection of categories. Click "Refine Search" from the results list and add additional terms in the appropriate text box(es).

Advanced Search

Use the advanced search to search terms in the same fields as the Basic Search or the added categories of illustration, country of origin, language, etc. Type word(s) in the text box(es) and click on SEARCH.

For descriptions of the field choices, use HELP.

RESULTS

Entries in the results list will provide basic bibliographic information. Each citation has symbols to indicate format(s) available. Some entries have the full citation only, others have full imaging. Click on the choice to view the citation or the full item/images. To view the full item page by page, select �document image.� To view the entire text as a PDF file, download the item to a disk and then view via Adobe Acrobat: many PDF files cannot be viewed online. Those entries which have PDF files available for viewing online will have the icon in the citation/record. Some images can be downloaded as TIFF files.

Mark individual items of interest, then click on at the top of the screen to view the selected items. Citations of marked items may be printed, emailed, or downloaded.

Illustration categories may not be pictorial, but will include charts, musical notations, printer�s marks, title page borders, portraits, maps, genealogical tables, heraldic symbols, etc.

Results may be sorted by author, publication date, or title. Search results may be further refined via the same method as for a Basic Search. A REMINDER: Be careful of spelling variations, especially with the non-standardized forms common during this time frame; also many religious tracts were written in Latin.

A REMINDER: Copy quality and legibility vary considerably, based on the quality of the original copy. Type face, bleeding of ink, irregularities in the printing process, etc., affect the overall quality of these primary items, which affect legibility. Digitized images were produced from the microfilm copy, not from the original item. Poorest quality items have not yet been digitized.

VIEWING/PRINTING/DOWNLOADING

From the document images, view and print each page. Window size for viewing and size of image can be adjusted. Use "Adjust view to print" to help adjust for the best setting. The use of PRINT CURRENT VIEW is also valuable to adjust the image - what is seen may not print properly. Copy quality is problematic, therefore legibility versus print size may need to be adjusted. The default setting is set for the best for an individual page, generally 60-65%. Full 100% has better legibility but contents may not all fit on one printed sheet.

Full text documents may be downloaded to a disk as PDF files, and may be printed from a disk using Adobe Acrobat. Formating for printing as a PDF is potentially superior. Viewing full text as a PDF document is not always available online.

From the Marked List of full items or individual pages:

• The citations of all marked items can be printed, downloaded, or emailed.
• The pages and/or illustration images may be viewed, printed, or downloaded, individually (one at a time).
• Many full text (as PDF) must be downloaded to be viewed; some resources have online PDF images which can be viewed page-by-page.
• Full text/images may not be emailed.
