For more rigorous searches the Advanced Search has separate fields that allow you to search for specific values in any of the bibliographic fields available for any reference. One or more of these fields can be used to search the library for exactly the references of interest.

The library records found for the search are presented in the Results tab of the Library display.

If the search finds records that qualify, they are listed on the Results tab. Only the basic publication data is displayed for each reference: author, year and title. Click the underlined column heading to sort the References List by author, year or title. One click sorts the References List in ascending order, the second in descending order. Click any of the data elements for a references to open the Record tab to show all the information about the reference. At the bottom of the Results tab are options to export or download the results for use elsewhere, or select references to add to a workspace.

The information available about a reference includes publication data, an abstract, keywords and notes. The Record tab only shows those fields which have a value entered for a specific reference. To see all the possible data fields available to identify references, go to the Edit Bibliography panel.
