Presenter Notes The Knowledge Network - A Brief Tour Slide 1 This ...

Slide 5
On every page of The Knowledge Network, there is a search box.
The search box on the homepage offers most options. If you use the search box as it is, your search is a
basic one and uses the whole of The Knowledge Network to find what you’re looking for. You can also limit
the search to only clinical evidence and guidance by clicking the little button next to that option.
If you choose advanced searching, you can add more search terms to focus your search better.
You could also choose to search only the library. This lets you search for a journal by its title, for an article
within a journal, or for a book.
There are two further presentations in development to help with searching. One is called How to Search
and describes the basic mechanics of searching electronic resources and the other is Searching The
Knowledge Network about applying search techniques using The Knowledge Network as the search-source.
Slide 6
The key areas widget gives each audience single-click access to its own tailored area of The Knowledge
Network. As you can see, there are areas dedicated to Admin and Support Services, Social Services,
Management, Evidence into Practice and Quality Improvement. The Admin and Support Services link takes
you directly to the Admin Centre.
Slide 7
The Features widget allows you to scroll through a series of important features and functions available
through the website and to link to any of these you might like to explore further. Scroll by clicking the white
arrow heads and explore a feature by clicking in its box.
Slide 8
This is the lower part of the homepage.
You can change the display here by adding and removing widgets and re-ordering them in this panel to suit
yourself.
To move a widget, click on its title-bar and drag it to the position in the panel where you’d like it to appear.
To add or remove widgets, click Add a Widget to the Panel by clicking here.
Slide 9
This is the widget library which you’ll see after clicking the Add a Widget link.
The names of currently displayed, removable widgets are shown in the top half of the page. These are
removed by clicking the cross in the little box beside the widget name.
You can add widgets by choosing the ones you’d like from the library in the lower half of the page.
