Editor (e.g. J.-‐P. Migne) Work Title (e.g. Electra) Publication Title (e.g. Patrologiae cursus completus) Series (e.g. Corpus Medicorum Graecorum) Publication Date (e.g. 1987)

Facets and Cross-‐references
Facets or faceted search is a technique that allows users to explore a collection of information by applying multiple filters. When you click a category, i.e. “Author” all Authors present in your search will appear. You can click on any author to view the relevant information. When your Canon results include cross-‐references to other authors/works, these will appear in the right hand sidebar. Cross-‐references will also appear at the end of the relevant bibliographical entry. When you click on the link, the bibliographical information for the cross-‐reference will be shown.
