对FirstSearch的介绍

Welcome to OCLC's FirstSearch® service, an interactive online information system available on the World Wide Web. Browse through the following topics to get acquainted with FirstSearch:

FirstSearch screens

Each screen in FirstSearch is divided into three areas. A popup window gives you access to online help while you are viewing FirstSearch screens. Click on any linked name below for more information on a specific area of the FirstSearch screens.

Title and Tips displays logos for OCLC FirstSearch and/or your library, followed by messages and tips about how to best use each screen.
Navigation Menu provides links to screens and global commands.
Control Panel displays buttons for FirstSearch features and current status
Main Dialog action/task area for selecting databases, searching, and working with results.
Language Selection and Legal displays language options and legal information.
 
Help appears in a popup window, which you can move, resize, or close.
 

Navigation menu

The Navigation menu provides links to FirstSearch screens and global commands. For users of newer browsers, move your cursor over any link to see a description of the link's functionality.

Links to FirstSearch screens are listed in task order: 首页, 数据库, 检索, and 结果. Some links will not display until you have completed a given task in the search process. For example, links to the Results screens will not display until you have completed a search and have search results.

Links to global commands, such as 退出, are provided at the top of the of the menu and repeated at the bottom of the screen.

Control panel

The control panel contains tools and information for the current screen. Context-sensitive help for each screen is available by clicking the 帮助 帮助 button.

FirstSearch tools, such as online help, are represented by icons with short labels. Move your cursor over any icon to see a description of its functionality. Tools are available based on the current system status. For example, the 排序 排序 icon will display only after a search and only if your search results contain between 2 and 500 records.

Brief status information (database name, search string, result count) is shown on the right side of the control panel.

FirstSearch tools and the status information are repeated at the bottom of any screen that includes multiple pages.

Main dialog

The main dialog is the task area for completing a search and using the results of that search. When you click a screen link in the navigation menu or control panel, the associated screen will display in the main dialog.

Language and legal

Language selection links allow you to change the user interface language and are followed by some general commands. The OCLC logo and copyright and terms and conditions appear at the bottom of each page, and for databases augmented by library holdings information, the OCLC WorldCat logo appears.

Online help

Context-sensitive help is displayed in a popup window that you can move, resize, or close. The popup window allows you to read help while you are viewing FirstSearch screens. For example, you can read through the procedures for performing a search while viewing the search screen. Help will display in the same popup window regardless of the number of times or places you click the help button. Your screen will not be filled with multiple popup windows. Use the links or shortcut key commands at the top or bottom of the help screen to navigate and control the popup window.
