In the Search Results display, some results supply links to related subjects, names or scope notes. This information guides the user to terms that are part of the Library of Congress Subject Headings or to authorized forms of names for persons or groups.  

More Info Search Results

To view the references or scope note, select the More Info icon. Only scope notes, See references, See-also references, and Narrower Terms display; Orbis does not currently display broader terms. For example, to bring up a list of titles under Crops, click on the link for the term you want to search.
