User guide

Biblio online offers documents in PDF format to the members of luxracines. To read these documents you need to have Adobe Reader installed, which can be obtained for free at http://get.adobe.com/reader/.

The library has several categories and subcategories of documents. To find a document you can

• either navigate through the category structure until you get to the document
• or use the 'Search Document' function, which is located on each page of the library; this allows a search for a term, such as a place name.

The list of documents displays a maximum of five documents per page. If the number of available documents is higher, a navigation menu at the bottom of the page is displayed. By default, the list of documents is sorted in ascending alphabetical order. The list can be sorted by other criteria and in descending order.

Two buttons are displayed for each document:

• "Details" to view a page with details of the document
• "Download" (members only), to download the document to your computer or to view it. The choice between downloading and viewing is done in a window that opens after you click on the button. Depending on the file size and the speed of your Internet connection the download or view can take several minutes.

Some documents are optimized for screen display and cannot be printed.
To search for a phrase in a document (eg a name), use the search capabilities of Acrobat Reader (such as Ctrl + F). The search in a handwritten document does not work.

Chargeable Documents

Some library materials are not freely available. The price of these documents appears in the title and the description of these documents. Payment is made via the PayPal service.

Three buttons are displayed for each fee-based document:

• "Details" to view a page with details of the document
• "See Preview" to view the first three pages of the document
• "Buy Now! (Price)" (members only) to start the purchase.

After starting the purchase procedure, you will be redirected to PayPal to place the payment, either via your PayPal account or credit card. At the end of the transaction, you will go back to the website of luxracines where you will find the download link. Also, a message to which the purchased document is attached is sent to your e-mail address (your e-mail address registered with luxracines has to be correct; you can check this via the menu on the left side "User Menu / Your details").
