The Librarian's View is another way of looking at a record and displays the record with MARC (MAchine-Readable Cataloguing Record) field tags. Each of these fields contains information relevant to your chosen record, for example there is a field for title and a field for author. The term on which you searched is highlighted in bold and red.

To look at the record in Librarian's View, you will need to firstly view the record in Full View. Once the Full View of the record is displayed, you will need to click on the Librarian'ss View link which is situated towards the top of the screen.

From the Librarian's View of a single record, you can print, email, download and save the bibliographic information for that particular record.

If you wish to print, email, download and save multiple records, select the check boxes on the brief results' page and click on the print, email, download and save options at the top of the screen.
