Library Search help

Using filters

Filters are useful for managing the items displayed within your search results page. Filters appear on the left side of the search results page.

You can filter your results by:

• whether the full text of the item is available online or in print
• which library building the item is held in
• what resource type the item is
• subject discipline
• publication date
• language.

Filters can be selected or deselected in the following ways:

• Click on the filter and then on the apply filters button to see the results. Clear filters either by clicking on the filter at the top of search results or by clicking on Clear all button.  
• You can select more than one option from within the filter menu, but they do not take effect automatically.
• You need to click on the Apply button at the top of the filter menu to apply it to your search results.

Once selected a filter remains active until you select the Clear Filters link at the top of the menu.
