Indexes can be presented in many different ways in the WebPAC. Any index you have created for searching your collection can be made available in the WebPAC, even if it is not currently available (the default set up shows only a few of the most common indexes). You can choose how you would like these indexes to display by using drop-down menus, radio buttons, tabs, links, icons or a combination of these types.
On this page (mainmenu.html) the most common indexes have been separated by tabs, with Keyword searching set as the default. Less common indexes are available in the "Other Searches" box. Once your library has determined which indexes are most useful for your patrons, you can change this default set up.
Search results pages each have a drop down menu that allows users to change the index being searched.
NOTE: When presenting your indexes you can have a different look and feel between basic and advanced search pages. For example, tabs may be available for the most common indexes like Title, Author, Subject and Keyword. The advanced search interface can then be the place that presents other indexes such as Call Number and ISBN/ISSN.
