The DK front page is made up of three main panels including an “Introduction”, “List of Communities” and a search and menu bar on the right.

Multiple entry points

DK can be searched by author, title and subject which the most common keywords used.  The DK hierarchy consists of Communities, Sub-communities, Collections and Items.  The Items referred to are the actual digital records / documents.  Selecting a community will take you to the sub-community and so on till you reach the collection after which a list of items can be searched or browsed.  This type of search will yield results within a specified collection.

Keywords may also be used directly in the Search Digital Knowledge box or by using the Browse box.  This type of search will yield results across the entire database.
