Courses Section
The Courses Section runs a search against courseware resources in the library. If the course segment contains video, a thumbnail appears next to the result. Clicking the thumbnail opens the video instead of the textbook.
The section has several different views:
• Articles — displays a compact list of matching article and resource titles.
• Ranked — matches the article titles with brief contextual information and number of search hits. Items are ranked according to relevance.
• By Resource — displays matching resources in a two-level list where the top level shows matching resources listed alphabetically by title, and the second level (accessed by clicking the resource title to expand its results) shows the results in each resource. The top level also shows the number of results found and the number of articles containing those results.
• By Count — displays the same information By Resource but resources are listed from the greatest number of hits to the least.[1]
Prerequisite reading: none
Resources included:
- Type:Courseware-Media-Collection
- Type:Courseware-Textbook
Section heading bar
The Section heading bar for Commentaries matches that of Collections and Commentaries including the Settings option for limiting the section to a collection of your choice. The only difference is in the text selected for Help – preview and open.
