The Abstract level provides a brief description of the resource you have chosen, helping you decide if it is appropriate to your needs. The abstract itself contains two parts: (1) categorical descriptions of the resource, such as grade range, subject and title of the resource and (2) a synopsis of the resource. The abstract level also provides you with a linked reference list to other related resources.
Step One. To view an abstract for the selected resource in the Search Engine window, click on the Open button. This opens the Abstracts and Links Info window (below). The Abstract & Links Info window displays the abstract and the following information for a resource: original project, unit, and book; rated and designated grade levels; complete search criteria; and a list of related resources, called "links." You can read the abstract to see if it was what you had in mind when doing your search.
At this point you have five options: 1) You can return to the listing of resources. 2) You can view the actual resource. 3) You can use the Add to Print List button to mark this resource for printing later. 4) You can use the Book Contents button to bring up a table of contents dialog box for the original project book that contains this resource. You then can go to a different resource in this same book. 5) Or, you can select and view related resources in the Links list.
