Once the image has been zoomed to the desired level, click and drag the image to pan to the section that is of interest. You cannot pan an image unless it has first been zoomed.

11. How do I refine search results?
Users can conduct a general Quick Search, or they can conduct a more refined search by using the Advanced Search feature and setting precise search criteria. Quotation marks can be used to search for exact phrases in either situation. QUICK SEARCH provides results based on main textual content only. ADVANCED SEARCH provides guidance for generating search criteria to yield targeted results. Users can search textual content, one or more media type, one or more title, one or more category, or their entire Marshall Cavendish Digital library using Advanced Search. Text-related search results are initially prioritized by relevancy, with articles whose titles completely satisfy the search criteria being listed first. Users may also choose to sort results alphabetically or by relevancy. When an article is selected from the text-related results list, the keywords are highlighted in the resulting content pages, with multiple colors available to distinguish terms in compound keyword searches. The user can turn the color highlighting on or off at any point. If an Advanced Search is restricted to media elements, the results will be displayed as a thumbnail gallery. ALL SEARCHES automatically include singular and simple plural forms of nouns except when quotation marks are used around an exact search term or phrase.
12. How do I translate text?
Click on the "Select Language" drop-down menu in the top right-hand corner of the page, and then scroll down and click on the desired language. A Google Translate bar will appear at the top of the page and the non-Flash text will automatically be translated into the language that you selected. Clicking on the arrow to the right of the language indicated in the Google Translate bar will yield a pop-up window that lists all the other language options in case you want to translate the material into a different language.
13. After I've translated a page, how do I return to the original text?
To return to the original English version of a page at any time, just click on the "Show original" button in the Google Translate bar at the top of the page. You can also click on the "X" at the right-hand end of the Google Translate bar to close the bar and deactivate the translation feature, which will automatically return the page to the original English version.
14. How can I see translated versions of the image captions?
There are two options that allow users to see translated versions of the image captions, which are Flash elements and are therefore not automatically translated along with the non-Flash article text. (a) When a user clicks on the Printer Friendly options that include images, a print preview window is loaded in which the captions are translated along with the article text. The user can then read the translated captions without actually printing the article. (b) When a user saves images to My Folder and then clicks on the thumbnail within the My Saved Images section of the folder, a non-Flash version of the image will be loaded on a page where the caption can be translated.
16. How do I access my institutional statistics?
Authorized users may click For Librarians for access to reports that comply with the COUNTER Code of Practice for Books and Reference Works. COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of NeTworked Electronic Resources) is a not-for-profit standards organization whose codes and practices are advocated by the American Library Association.
