Performing Searches

After logging in, OLIVER can be used by students and Faculty to search for and download learning objects such as images and videos. A search can be conducted for individual images and groups of images. The 20 most frequently accessed images from OLIVER are displayed on the front page.

The basic output unit of the database is termed a record. Hits from a search are displayed as thumbnails for each record. Records can be viewed by clicking on the thumbnails. Associated metadata is displayed with each record.
