OPAR – USER'S GUIDEBrowse the archive Browsing is a good way to access documents if you do not have a specific idea of what you are looking for. There are four ways to browse the archive: by year, by author, by subject or by type. Select 'Browse the archive' on the navigation bar on the left of the screen. You will be presented with a list of possible values. Select one of these. You will be given a list of references to documents in the archive (if any which match this value). To access a paper simply click on its reference in the display. Searching The archive offers two levels of searching, simple and advanced. They are similar, but the advanced form lets you search the archive using a more complex range of fields. You can save your search using the link 'Save search'. You can select a name for your search, planning the email alerts you'll receive and your search accessibility in the archive. Access the simple search using the 'Search' button or the 'Advanced search' link on the left of the screen. To perform an advanced search, use the advanced search link. Type your search terms into the boxes. You can use logical operators (AND/OR) to improve your search. The question mark on the right side of each field offers more information about the field. You can order results by: year, author's name and title. Account Certain services require you to register with the system, such as the document depositing service. You can 'Create an account' using the link on the left of the screen. You can register a username, email address and password that must be confirmed. The system will email you a confirmation URL to visit to enable the password.

Manage Deposits Once you have selected 'Manage Deposits', you can create a 'New item' or 'Import Item' (you can only import items with records – Doi, Pubmed or XML formats – or items existing in the web).
