A hierarchical subject classification is displayed on the left-hand side of subject browse pages. The initial view of the classification comprises a number of broad, top-level subject areas.

The currently selected subject is highlighted.

When a subject is selected, a list of book titles relevant to that subject is displayed in the centre of the page. Clicking a title takes the user to the title page for that book.

Books are classified under as many different subject terms as are appropriate.

BROWSE INSIDE THE BOOK

Content pages of a book may include the following components:

• Entry content, in the middle of the page.
• Links allowing you to move to the next or previous section and next or previous search result (if the page was reached via a search).
• A 'breadcrumb trail': a path indicating the position of the current page within the site.
• On the left-hand side, a table of contents for the current book, allowing navigation within the book. Clicking the heading Browse Table of contents (once) displays the table of contents if it was previously hidden, or hides it if it was previously displayed. The table remains visible or hidden, according to your last action, when successive pages are displayed.
• Also on the left-hand side, a table of contents for the current book, allowing navigation within the book. Clicking on the headings will display the corresponding content and will also display sections within that top level of content, if available.
• At the foot of the page, a citation comprising the details that must be included whenever content from that page is reproduced.
