1. Selecting a Different Catalog

There may be more than one catalog available from the Hope College system e-catalog Gateway at a time. If there is more than one, you will see a dropdown box toward the top of the page with the name of the current catalog. Clicking the dropdown box provides access to other available catalogs. Selecting an alternate catalog will load it into the Gateway. If you do not see the dropdown box, then only a single catalog is currently published.

2. Searching the Catalog

TheCatalog Search(shown at the top of the navigation) allows quick retrieval of catalog content that matches your interests.

To use theCatalog Search, simply enter a search keyword or phrase and press ENTER. The search will find any matching content in the catalog including courses, programs, divisions, departments / program areas or other narrative content.

2.1. Search Options

Search options are available by clicking on theAdvanced Searchlink below the regular search form or by clicking theModify Search Optionslink after performing a search. The search options offer more precise searching of the catalog content.

To limit your search to only specific types of catalog content, check only the checkboxes for content categories you wish to include in your search.

Check the "Whole Word/Phrase" check box to search for an exact match for a keyword or phrase. For instance, entering "bio" will only return hits in which the term "bio" stands alone; it will not return any instances of the term "biology". The same is true if you enter a phrase.

Click "Show Prefix List" to display a list of all course prefixes available in the catalog. You may enter a keyword phrase that includes a course prefix and code (like "ENG 101") to better locate a specific course. The closest available matches will be returned first.

Click theSearchbutton to perform the search.

3. Browsing the Catalog

Overview

You may easily browse through the catalogs by using the different navigation links on the left side of the page. Each catalog may have its own distinct set of navigation links.

一些链接可能会显示有关目录或其他相关信息的页面。其他链接可以显示目录内的课程或程序列表。These navigation links may display other information that is broken down by various methods such as by divisions, by departments / program areas, or by program, or course types.

Some pages may show "Go to Information..." links following a division or department / program area which, when clicked, will display more information about that division or department / program area.

课程和项目的标题几乎总是以链接的形式显示。点击课程标题将在课程标题下方显示课程信息(如果您使用的是较旧的浏览器,课程信息可能会在弹出窗口中显示)。点击程序标题将显示程序的所有相关信息。

FlashPoint™ Links

Some divisions, departments / program areas, programs, and courses may have FlashPoint Links associated with them that may be a text link or a click-able graphic. These FlashPoint Links are links to an additional digital resource. The digital resource may be another web page, a text document, audio, video, or many other types of media and may require a special browser plug-in.

要查看闪点链接,只需点击它。所有闪点链接将显示在一个新的弹出窗口。

要打印页面,请单击打印链接。The "Print Friendly" version will open up with just the content of the page in it (no navigation or header). If you click the print link on a "Print Friendly" page the browser will popup with the print dialog allowing you to print that page.

Problems with Gateway Print Links

If your browser does not support the print link you may need to use the operating system or web browser's built in print functions instead.
