Descriptors, specific subject headings related to the selected article, aid in article selection by providing greater flexibility when viewing and selecting search results. Clicking on a descriptor enables a user to link to even more related articles. The descriptor feature replaces the article summary feature previously available in SIRS Researcher, SIRS Government Reporter, and SIRS Renaissance.
Users can view descriptors by selecting the descriptor icon located next to article titles.
Useful for research, assignments, and exploration, descriptors allow users to access a wealth of pertinent information with the click of a button.
