Tagging and Printing Records
There are 2 ways to print FirstSearch
Records:
1. Print one Record
at a time
2. Print a list
of Tagged Records
1. Printing one Record at a time
To Print a Record:
Go to the Full Record you want to Print.
This example uses a Full Record from the Social Sciences Abstracts database.
Click the Netscape or Internet Explorer "Print"
button.
2. Printing a list of Tagged Records
FirstSearch lets you Tag Records to create a custom list
of the best Records from your search.
You can then display the list of Tagged Records and print them together (or email them).
To Print a list of Tagged Records:
We'll use the Brief Records from a search in the Social Sciences Abstracts database
Choose the Records you want to Tag. You can Tag up to 20
Records.
From the Brief Records results page, click in the "Tag
Record" box next to each Record to tag.
A small check mark will appear.
We'll Tag #1 and #3.
Now you can view the Tagged Records
in order to Print or Email them.
To view the Tagged Records, click the "Show" button
under Tagged Records.
FirstSearch then shows the list of
Tagged Records.
We only tagged 2 Records, #1 and #3 in our Brief Records list.
We could have Tagged up to 20 Records.
We could Print this list of Tagged
Records just like we Print individual Records, by using the
"Print" button.
We could Email the list by clicking on the "E-Mail
Records" button.
(We'll learn about E-Mailing in the next lesson.)
To go back to the Brief Results, click the "Results" 
icon on the Menu Bar.
To start a new list of Tagged Records, click the "Clear" button under Tagged Records.
You can tell the
Tags are Cleared because the check marks are gone |
|
Next we'll learn how to Email Records.
