Archiva: Show Results

The Show Results box at the bottom of the Archiva On-Line Library Search dialog is used to select where you want the library search results to be displayed. The available options are:

•	In Archiva (Overwrite Existing) — Results of the last library search are deleted, and only results for the new search shown. This is recommended for regular searches, when you are just trying to find a book.

•	In Archiva (Retain Any Existing) — Results from previous library searches are retained, with the new results added to the end. This is recommended if you are trying to accumulate works for your database.

•	In Web Browser

The results of your Z39.50 search will be displayed in differently depending on your selection in the Show Results box. The first two options (in Archiva) show:

•	The results in Archiva, shown as an Ibidem database

•	All the results at once (as they are retrieved)

•	The results already converted into Ibidem format

The third option (in Web Browser) shows:

•	The results in your web browser (as though you had started the search from the local library, outside Archiva)

•	Only the specified number of results per page (usually 20 or 25)—you have to click to see the next page

•	The results unconverted (in native Z39.50 format)

To capture records shown in this third mode, you would need to highlight the desired records and then copy them.
