Océano Discovery Library (English): Filtering options

Filtering options

The refine search options, on the facets to the right of the results, allow us to:

  • Expand results
  • Search in full text
  • Retrieve only results from Peer-reviewed journals, Full Text Online, Available in the Library or Open Access
  • Refine them by subject, author/contributor, collection, library, date, resource type, language, classification LCC, journal title and new records
  • Filter them by excluding terms, by checking the box at the right side of each option

Once we have selected one or more refine search options, they will appear at the top, under “Active filters”. To remove a selected filter, we should click on the “X” beside it, or select "Reset filters" to erase all of them.

Filters can also be locked selecting "Remember all filters", or one by one, using the padlock option beside. This way we can set a search pattern that will not restart every time we search for a new term.

Once one or more refinement options have been selected, the “Apply filters” option will appear at the bottom of the screen. By clicking on this option, the search results will be displayed based on the selected refinement criteria. Likewise, by selecting “Remember all filters,” we can ensure that the active filters remain in place throughout the session without resetting when a new term is entered. It is also possible to lock an individual filter by clicking on its name and then clicking the padlock icon.
