Once you have logged in, you can follow the automatic Induction Wizard. Also, the Help links on the right hand side contain Tutorials, FAQs, a Quick Start Guide etc – these provide good reference points on how to use the database, how to customise your searches to get the results you want and they also highlight other features of the website.
Searches can be sorted by sponsor or by discipline (as broad or specific as you choose – using free text or the Rodman index), or you can run a multiple search combining various criteria at the same time.
