Navigating the Content
A set of common navigational links appears at the top of every page. Options are added and removed as appropriate, but the most common set is depicted in the image below.
Related Entries (a)
Related entries based on Region/Country, Subject, or Time Period, or a combination of these selections can be found via the navigation at the left of the screen. Check the boxes of the areas you are interested in and click Find to generate a list of related entries.
Expand your Research (b)
Every entry has a set of resources to help expand research that appear in the box on the right of the screen. These will vary depending on the content but can include Images, Maps, Chronologies, Internet Resources, CIA World Factbook entries, and Multimedia content. The content of each is contextual, based on the indexing terms associated with the entry being viewed.
Table of Contents and Previous/Next section (c)
Content from many of the titles included in Daily Life Online retains its Table of Contents, which is displayed in the right hand column. This allows the user to read more about that particular subject. Previous/Next links at the bottom of the page allow the user to page forward or back through the sections.
Printing (d)
When viewing an entry, a user has the option of clicking the print link toward the top of the screen to view the page without any navigational elements. The browser can then be used to print a "clean" page as needed.
Citation (d)
Towards the top of every page is the Cite Article link that will show the specific citation for that entry. Citations also appear at the bottom of every page, and will automatically be included on any pages that are printed. Daily Life Online supports MLA style citations, for example:
