"Record" is the word that the library uses to describe each item in your set of results. So each complete set of results is comprised of any source records retrieved through your search.
Item records are important because they provide basic information about each source including:
- The source format (e.g. book, article, video, etc.).
- The title, author, editor, date, and publication information, alternatively called the citation.
- And location information including digital availability.
Each element of the brief record is highlighted with a number in the following image.
