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.
