Using the hitlist

  • Sorting results
    The hitlist is automatically sorted according to relevance. Alternatively, you can sort according to “year” or “person”.
  • Please note the hits in DigiKat (1936-1961).
  • Limiting hits
    The filter options can be used to limit the number of hits, e.g. to a particular publication year, language, type of media, subject heading, etc. Click on the plus symbol next to the relevant category to refine the search (“drill-down”).
  • The chosen search filters will be displayed above the hitlist and can be deactivated before further searches.
