Viewing Record Details

The record detail page displays information for an individual bibliographic record. The page provides information from attached records regarding copies, volumes, orders, and serials (current receipts and holdings), as well as links to electronic resources, such as scanned images, when appropriate. Encore displays the record detail page when you select a record from the results list.

Encore can highlight search terms on the record detail page to help show why a particular record appears in the search results. Library staff can enable search term highlighting by selecting a highlight color in the color customization area of the Administration Application.

Depending on your library's configuration, the record detail page can include the following:

Brief Bibliographic Information

This includes information, buttons, and icons similar to the browse results brief view.

Items

This is a list of items held by the library. To remove items that can't be requested, select only show available.

Extras

These are links to enriched content, such as summaries, first chapters, or professional reviews, if your library subscribes to that material.
