Click the document title or image thumbnail from the document list to open the document details page. This page includes:

 

  • All images for that document, located in the image viewer
  • Summary metadata
  • Full document metadata, including any interactive metadata tags to filter results
  • Transcripts (available for printed, audio, or video documents)
  • Chapter information (available for printed books)

The summary metadata fields provide a brief overview of the document, including key fields such as title, date, document type and topics. The document details beneath the image provide more detailed metadata, such as descriptions and copyright information. Any metadata tag will, when clicked, perform a search and navigate to a list of all documents associated with that term.
