Tip:
It's easiest to open the desired Web page on your browser, copy the address,
and paste it here.

page by entering
http://www.nasa.gov/kids.html
.
Load Buttons
This action causes another set of buttons to display. You can use this action
repeatedly to set up a search hierarchy. This allows the patron to move from a
broad topic to a specific one, by delving through sets of buttons. When you
choose this action, a list of all existing button sets appears.
Choose a set from the Load a Set list, or, enter a new, unique name. If you enter a
new name, a new set is created with one nonconfigured button in it. You then
configure that button and add any others that you want.
Important:
When creating a new set, we recommend that the name you enter here
in Load a Set be the same name that you entered above in Description.
When working with buttons, there are a few things to remember:
Entering a new name here is the only way to create a new set.
No two sets can have the same name.
A button and a set can have the same name.
You can load a particular set of buttons more than once.
There is no limit to the number of sets you can create.
Example:
Add a button to the Famous People set named Legendary Heroes.
Configure it to Load a Set. Name the set Legendary Heroes and create new
buttons (e.g., Norsemen, Greek Heroes, and Old West) in it. You can also create
another Legendary Heroes button, in the Folk and Fairy Tales set, and configure
it to load this same set.
Example:
Configure buttons named Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, etc., to
load button sets. Configure the buttons in the new button sets to search for, or
link to, gradeappropriate materials or sites. When a patron clicks a grade button,
and then searches, he/she retrieves only appropriate information.
Perform a Bibliographic Search
If you choose this action, the Range selection options appear. Choose Title,
