Understanding Source Selection on the Search Screen

To perform a search on the Search screen, you first select a practice area from the Practice Area drop-down list. Once you select the practice area, Checkpoint displays the corresponding source sets. You can also search across multiple practice areas by customizing and saving your own source sets. Customizing source sets can save you time and increase your searching efficiency.

To view the available sources in a source set:

1. On the menu bar, click the Search menu.

   The Search screen appears.

2. On the left navigation bar, select a practice area from the Practice Area drop-down list.

   The source sets for the selected practice area appear on the right of the screen.

3. Click the symbol to expand a source set to display its sources.
4. You can select as many sources from a source set as you need for your search. Simply click the corresponding check box next to each source.
5. To select an entire source set, click the check box next to the source set name (such as Editorial Materials).

6. After completing the source set selection and entering any keywords (optional) or thesaurus terms (optional), you can either click Search to start the search or click Save to save a customized source set.

Note: When you hover your mouse pointer over a source on the Search screen, an icon appears that you can click to view the source expanded in the Table of Contents hierarchy in a preview window. This feature is available for all practice areas.
