Most searches in the Digital Library of Appalachia database display the search results on a basic results page, consisting of navigation elements and record results. The only exception is the search where no results are found.

The top of each results page is significant for its navigational qualities for new searches (browsing by collection, keyword, and advanced) or to the my favorites tool :

There are four types of page views for the results list. The default page view is the grid view. You can choose between them by clicking on the buttons above the results list.

Grid - great for viewing both image and textual information (default)
Thumbnails - best when you need image-only information
Bibliographic - best when you need text-only information
Titles - best when you are searching for a specific title
(Examples are for the same nine records from the Digital Library of Appalachia.)

In the lowest right corner, you can find a complete list of page numbers as well as previous and back buttons. You may scroll through the entire results list in 10-record pages.

Clicking on the next page button will take you to page 2.
Clicking on the number 6 link will take you to page 6.
Clicking on the > link will take you to page 11 (and display links to pgs. 11 - 20).
