This article describes the search results hitlist and how to drill down to a specific database or view location details.

Results hitlist

Once the search results are retrieved, a brief record for each item is displayed. The results display shows brief bibliographic information, the number of holdings and the collection in which the record has been found.

NRE/VDX automatically displays an initial set of 10 hits from each collection searched. Further results can be returned and displayed if required by clicking further page numbers:

Displaying results as they are requested is a more efficient use of network resources than automatically displaying all hits.

Results are displayed in the order they are returned from the collections. When searching multiple collections simultaneously, the hits from the fastest database are displayed first.

Icona informativaYou can bring the results from a specific database to the top of the list by clicking the database links – the illustration below shows how to sort the results so those from the University of Toronto appear first in the results list.
