How do I search the Knowledge Library
Searching for an abstract, project researcher or funder is very easy. There are two main ways.
The first is to go to the section you are most interested in (such as Pacific Nutrtion) and click on the 'Research' tab. That will bring up the full listing of content contained in the Knowledge Library that pertains to that topic. You may further filter the results by choosing the 'Filter by Tag' option on the right hand side of every main page. Choose the 'tag' that represents the area you are most interested in.
The second method is to do a search of the entire HEHA website and then to narrow the results to just 'Research' related items. You do this by inserting the search term in the box on the top right of any page and then clicking search. You can then choose the 'Filter by Type' option and select either Research Abstract, Research Project, Research Funder or Researcher.
You may also choose the 'Advanced Search' option that is found under the main Search box and follow the instructions contained there.
