BROWSING is Searching without any real time stress added...nothing definite in mind...just exploring...following your nose or your tastes...or being led along by resource sites as they appear in website links collections.
Say, for example, you set out to explore courses available at your State University...on the way you bump into something interesting and it invites you to detour...maybe to another campus offering marine courses...maybe to Anatomical Drawing lessons, or an obscure display or an open day, or a call for volunteers at an Archaeological dig...then you're Browsing the Web.

GO:

......to start ANY KIND OF SEARCH of ADU's databases...or from there to beyond, click on the "SEARCH ADU" link on any page. In this tutorial, we've done so on the front or "Home page"of the site. This takes you to........

• ....the "Search Selection" page. Here you select the KIND of SEARCH that you want to make. Click on "BROWSE" link. This takes you to.....
  
  

• ....the "Browse page", where you start to aim your search, if it needs one....make a choice...you can select only ONE major category in ADU Browse mode...click on the box opposite your selection and a "tick" appears...
  
  
  
  
• Note: this page presents the same double list that appears for anyone submitting new information to ADU as an Arts Individual or an Arts Business. These contributors have created records for public reference and community education...and for their own promotion. They have identified themselves by Major Category, then sub-categories, then location and name...from the general to the specific.
  
  
• Note: browsing and searching in general is understanding the "IN" process and applying that to the "OUT" process.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• ...now scroll to the bottom of this Search / Browse page...
  
  
  
  
  
  

• ...and select "Australia" from the "drop-down" list of Countries Downunder ...if you don't check a country, your search result will be a list as long as the total Database contents for that category...ALL Countries.
  

• Let's see what happens if you click the "Find Records" button at the bottom of the page at left...without first selecting the last option of State / Province...

• ....the "Browse Results" page appears...it shows ALL the entries for the category you selected in Australia...a daunting list in most searches. Narrow your field of search by clicking your Browser's "Back" button...
  
  
  

• ...this takes you back one step, cancelling your earlier click on the "Find Records" button. This time type the first letter of a State, and click "Find Records" again...

• ....this time the results are more manageable. You have a list of all that has been entered as Australian, in the State of your choice, and related to a particular category of Artistic or creative interest. Click on anything you think may be rewarding or interesting and go on from there....this is definitely a leisure activity.
  
  
• Note: this is as far as you can "narrow your search" in "Browse ADU" mode...you can't add any more search details...there are no more fields to fill-in, or drop-down lists to choose from. For more accurate or specific results you must search for "Arts Individuals", "Arts Business", or "Arts Event". Visit the "Search" tutorial now that you're familiar with the general principle of Browsing the World Wide Web.
  
  
  
• Note: the search results are arranged in pages, with the most recent addition or up-date at the top of the first page.
  
  
• Note: If you browse the Arts from the ADU site, you can use your Browser's "Back" button to get back to ADU's "Search Results" page where you will be able to continue browsing other entries in that Category, Nation, and State .
  
  
• Note: the pastime of "Browsing" the Internet is very time absorbing and mid-drift enlarging. Beware. Balance your on-line time with useful exercise outdoors.
