Listing resources
This page allows you to look for resources of the specified theme (Technical resources or Policy resources). The controls available to find the resources you are interested in are:
-
Include results in other languages: This control, checked by default, finds resources available in languages other than the user’s one.
-
Free text search: Entering some text into this box will look for resources containing that text in their title or description. The text is compared as is.
-
Keywords, Subjects (or Categories) and Regions: These controls allow the user to choose one or more terms from the corresponding list. Clicking in the box next to the label will display a scrollable list of terms that can be selected by clicking on the term or by clicking “Select all”. To reduce the number of items displayed, it is possible to type some characters in the “Select a …” text box at the top. Repeating the process adds a new term to the list displayed in the box. To remove one term from the box, click the little “x” next to it. To empty the box, click the “x” on the far right. Terms added to the control will be searched in “OR”, i.e. the resources found will be associated to one or more terms. For instance, choosing regions “Europe” and “Africa” will find resources associated to Europe, Africa or both.
The control “Subjects” for Technical resources is replaced by “Categories” for Policy resources and can be used in the same way.
-
Resource type: This control is a pull-down list from which the user can choose one term.
-
Publication year: This control is implemented as a year range. Typing a year in “Since” will restrict the search to resources published in or after that year. Typing a year in “Until” will restrict the search to resources published up to that year inclusive. Typing the same year in both will find resources published in that year. Entering a “Since” year which is earlier than the “Until” year will result in resources published in the year range, including the extremes.
-
Clear the search form: Pressing this button will remove any value or selection applied to the search controls.
-
Search: Pressing this button will search for resources matching the controls as they are at the time. If no resource is found, “No matching resources found” is displayed.
-
Export as Excel: Pressing this button compiles an Excel document with the found resources and a description of the query that was used to find them.
