What is displayed on Multimedia pages?
Multimedia pages include the full record for a particular image, video clip or Web link. This consists of the title of the item, a short description followed by an image, links to play or download a video clip, or a link to a page on an external Web site.
What special software do I need to watch a video clip?
To watch the video clips, it is necessary to have Windows Media® Player installed on your computer. A free Windows Media® Player plug-in can be downloaded from the Windows Media Web site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp
Note: Downloadable MPEG clips (when available) can be played using any media player.
What does the coloured text on the Multimedia page mean?
When you submit a search, the returned results use a hit highlighting feature to show you the exact words within the Full text of an item that satisfy your search. The words making up the 'hit' are emphasised in red.
Hit highlighting will pick up words that have an associated meaning to your search terms.
