at the bottom of the display:

Email) is selected.
- Select
- A new screen will display containing printable/saveable records.

Save using the browser's Save As function (supply a filename
when prompted).

or Selected (across pages).
- Mark individual records by selecting the check box next to each
desired record number.

Email) is selected.
- Select
- A new screen will display containing only printable/saveable
versions of the record set.

when prompted).
To Email all catalog records from the display:
- Select the radio button next to All (this page only).

or Email).

also determines the number of records that can be printed, saved,
or emailed at a time. To increase the number of records per screen,
use the drop-down menu found at the bottom of each search page.

bottom of the record display:
