Explore the Work and Family Commons
There are two ways to explore materials in the WFC: Search and Browse.
Search
Go here to Search or use the Search function (in the top right corner of every page) to search all of the content available on the WFRN website including:
- Work and Family Commons
- News Feed
- Calendar
- Sloan Network Archive
Enter your keywords in the Search Box and a list of items will be displayed. For WFC entries, you will see the title(s) of the document and fields such as, Author, Topic, Year and Type, if available. Clicking on the title will take you to a page with the abstract and/or citation or the link to download the full-text document, if available. In some cases, both a legacy citation from the Sloan Work and Family Research Network Literature Database and a more recently uploaded full-text document may be listed.
You can also narrow your search further using the filters available on the left sidebar of the Search results page including by author, date, discipline, document type, title and topic.
Browse
Go here to Browse. Browsing is a good way to find documents when you don’t have a specific idea of what information you want. There are four options for browsing content
- Browse by Document Type
- Browse by Topic
- Browse by Discipline
- Browse by Year
Click on a category to browse and you will be given a list of documents in the repository, if available. To access an item, simply click on it.
