Use filters to narrow a Bookshelf search by date or type of resource. In this example, we look for current reports on otitis media.

Transcript:
Let’s use Bookshelf filters to narrow a search.
We’ll use the example of searching for current reports such as evidence reviews, systematic reviews, and guidelines on the topic of otitis media.
We’ll start with a simple topic search of otitis media.
We retrieve more than 25 hundred items from almost 500 books.
To narrow our search, we can use the filters that appear on the left of the page.
We can narrow by publication date, when the records were added to the Bookshelf, and Resource types.
Other filters are also available using the Show additional filters link at the bottom.
We want current reports, so we will select:
A publication date in the last 5 years.
And we will select Report under Resource types.
We have now narrowed our results to a reasonable number.
