Browse > Categories for Filtering Browsing

Browse Categories

You'll find the Browse Categories section of the Browse Titles page on the far left of the page, under the Collections field. In this section, you can filter your browse results list by using various categories. These categories may vary, depending on the collection you are browsing as well as the type of metadata collected.

Next to each category name, in parentheses, is a number. This number indicates how many documents may be found in that category. For example, if you choose the category "Month published", and the number 12 appears next to it, that means that there are 12 different types of resources in the collection you are browsing and you can browse using one of those types of resources as your filter. In this example, there are 12 months available for browsing.
