At the top and bottom of the page you’ll see a navigation bar. It shows the name of the catalog, the publication date, the telephone number for placing orders, a link to their web site (if they have one), and the catalog code (if there is one). The catalog page you are viewing is shown, along with the total number of pages in the catalog. Back and forward buttons let you browse the pages of the catalog, and there’s a Jump to page box where you can enter the number of a page that you want to view. You can choose to view one or two catalog pages at a time, or view 30 thumbnail pages. You can also enter a search string to find something in the current catalog (instead of in all catalogs, which is how the Google Catalog Search home page works). Google Catalog List ( http://catalogs.google.com/catalog_list) lets you search for a catalog by name instead of by content. The Google Catalog List is a great place to see if a particular catalog is in the Google mail-order catalog directory. It’s an alphabetical list of catalogs; click on a catalog name to view it starting with it’s cover. Once you’ve selected a catalog, the navigation bar is available. The Google Catalog List home page has a handy useful help page link ( http://catalogs.google.com/googlecatalogs/help.html) that’s not displayed on the Google Catalog Search home page. If you’re looking for something that might be found in a mail-order catalog give the Google Catalog Search and Google Catalog List a try. |
