Each section (except for Site Information) has
an "Introduction and index" page that
lists the resources available in that section.
In most cases there are one or more lists containing
links to provide more details.
Detail pages for bibliography items, institutes,
copyright and image sources are displayed in
separate windows that open when you click a
related link or button. These pages can be left
open; they will be reused the next time you
click a link of that type. The windows can be
sized and positioned any way you choose. While
most pop-blocker software will allow these windows
to open, if you click a link and nothing happens,
you may need to temporarily disable the pop-up
blocker; see the software documentation for
instructions on how to do that.
