Icons to Know Before Browsing: Resources Varieties and Access Availability
As you browse the repository, you will encounter a range of different resources and entities. The icons below will help you to identify what kind of resource or entity you've found. If you click on a resource witha green and white icon, we'll connect you with a partially or fully open/free version of that resource. Black and white icons mark resources that are not partially/fully open access.
General Browsing Options
Find Resources by Type and Access (Click Here)
For most users, the best way to browse the IRE Knowledge Commons Resource Repository is to "Browse by Resource Type," which supports you in finding and filtering resources. You can filter for particular types of resources by browsing one of the following:
- Research/Scholarly Media
- Education/Pedagogical Resources
- Organizational Entities
- Resources that Provide Background/Context on IRE-Related Topics
Whatever type of resource you're looking for, you can always filter by whether open access/full text versions of resources are available. (NOTE: When filtering for resources, you'll have the option to select multiple filters. Filtering for multiple features will display only the resources that contain all of the features you've selected as filters.)
