Each of the target resources must have a search functionality on the host server for its Web site or a database built and maintained within the parameters of a database management software. You may choose which combination of databases you want to search. The HVT Subject Portal site utilizes the function of the individual server and database searches. All search capabilities and options may not be available for each database. Specifics on each database and a link to each site may be found under Database Description .
Full text is searched when it is searchable in the individual database.
Author and title searches are an option for most databases. Single word or word phrases may be entered in the query box to submit. You may specify how many items you wish to have displayed from each database, up to 250. However, there are cases in which a target database has its own rules about how many documents can be returned. In those cases, the target's rules override the functionality of the HVT Network.
