View an LC Authority File Search List of more than 100 records

The client shows only 100 records at a time when online save file search results exceed that number. To display other sets of 100 in the list:

  • To view the next 100 records in the search results list: Click View > Navigate Records and Lists > Next 100 Records, press <Ctrl><Alt><Shift><X>, or press <Page down>.

Check the status bar to see where you are in the list of total records found. For any record selected on the list or opened for display, the status bar shows the record number of the total number of records found (e.g., 234 of 1,234).

Select multiple records in a list

Select adjacent records

  • Click to highlight the first entry, and then press and hold <Shift> and click the last entry. The entire group of records between the entries is selected.
    Or

Print a list or selected entries

You can print an entire browse or search list, or you can print selected entries on a search list:

  1. Print entire search or browse list - With an LC Authority File Search List or an LC Authority File Browse List open, click File > Print List or press <Shift><F12>.
    Or
    Print selected entries in a search list - Select only entries you want to print, and then click File >Print List or press <Shift><F12>.
  2. If you have more than one entry selected, the Print List dialog opens.
    • Click the button next to All to print all records in the list. 
      Or
    • Click the button next to Selected Items to print the list with only the entries you selected.

    Otherwise, go to step 3.
  3. In the Print dialog, click Print or press <Enter>. If results exceed 100 records, you can print only the set of currently displayed records. You must display other sets in the list to print them.

 Note: Connexion client uses Internet Explorer (IE) to print records and lists. Therefore, page margins for printing are determined by IE Page Setup settings. To adjust the margins, open the browser click File > Page Setup. You can determine other print settings (e.g., portrait or landscape orientation) in the client Print dialog.
