Search filters, otherwise known as "facets", allow you to narrow the search results to get the results you are seeking. For example, you can filter your results to include only CPD articles from the Law Society of Ontario or books the Great Library owns. The search filters are on the right side of the browser when searching, and the top of the column says "Tweak your results".
The Availability filters allow you to narrow your results to items that are:
When you want to limit your results to just books, CPD articles, web resources or something else, use the Material Type filter.
Refining by Publication Date can be useful for limiting your results to the most recent results in the library catalogue, or if you are looking for specific versions or editions.
Use the Libraries filter when you want to limit your results to items located at a particular library.
The Author filter allows you to narrow your results by either including or excluding specific authors.
The Subject filters allow you to narrow your results by either including or excluding specific topics.
The Language filter narrows your search to materials published in certain languages.
The New Records filter narrows your search to materials added to the catalogue in the last 3 months, the last month, or the last week.
When facets are added one at a time, the system returns the remaining results that match the selected facet value.
In the Tweak Your Results section on the results page:
For each facet that you want to include and exclude, hover over the facet in the Filter My Results section and then perform one of the following actions:
Include facet – Select the check box on the left side of the facet. If you want to include a facet that has already been marked for exclusion, click the 
button on the right side of the facet.
Exclude facet – If you have already included a facet, click the 
button on the right side of the facet to mark it for exclusion. If you have not already marked a facet for exclusion or inclusion, you must first select the facet's check box and then click the button on the right side of the facet. Otherwise, a single facet will be excluded immediately.
Click Apply Filters to filter your results. The selected facets will appear in the Active filters section.
When performing many similar types of searches, you may want to retain your filters for subsequent searches within a search session.
To make a facet persistent, hover the cursor over the facet in the Active filters section and then click the facet's padlock 
.
You can make all your active filters persistent by clicking "Remember all filters".
