Information on collections and on objects may be searched separately.

In the collection search facility additionally collections may be found that did not yet provide digital catalogue (object) metadata to the DISMARC platform.



The Advanced Search Box

The red box in the upper part of the screen contains all input and select fields for searching.

The user may include selected or all Metadata (Any Field) fields, use Boolean operators, multilingual features, lookup lists and vocabularies when shaping the query. The search may be restricted to those records that carry audio samples and items and collections might be searched individually.

The selectbox starting with "Any field" opens up a list of catalogue (metadata) fields that may be searched through individually.
