- | FirstSearch is an online service which gives access to a rich collection of reference databases. In addition to searching on a large number of indexes which can be combined in any number of ways, the platform also offers | ||

- | * multiple interface languages, | ||
- | * search options that include operators for proximity and plurals, as well as wildcards, and | ||
- | * highlighting of search terms in search results. | ||
- | The FirstSearch interface was enhanced to incorporate CERL’s Assisted Searching functionality (based on the CERL Thesaurus and offering variant place and personal names) and the Annotations Facility that had already been successfully integrated in the CERL Thesaurus – allowing HPB users to share their views on the record contents with other users. | ||

Please note that IP recognition of terminals is only possible for access via FirstSearch. IP recognition can also be set up for staff members. | + | CERL encourages its Members to allow public access to the HPB database through one or more terminals in the institute’s reading room(s).
