Searching for answers

Many Answers lets you search for answers to popular homework questions asked at AnyQuestions.co.nz. There are five different ways to search from the Many Answers homepage:

1. Search
Type your search words into the search box (e.g. Ed Hillary, pets, science) and click on the search button. This will bring up all the answers in the Many Answers database which are tagged with those search words.

2. Browse
Browse the Many Answers database by searching the A-Z listing. Just click on the letter of the alphabet you need. You can also browse by the date the answer was added to the database.

3. Latest / Most Popular Check out what we have added recently or what other students have been searching for. Both the latest and most popular answers show the top ten entries.

4. Our Keywords / Your Tags
Click on any search word in the tag cloud to find answers on that topic. These are search words (tags) that librarians have added. ‘Your Tags’ shows search words (tags) that students have added.

5. Hot Topics
Librarians will put together up to five top subjects that they are being asked about at AnyQuestions.co.nz. These will change regularly depending on what’s popular (e.g. Easter, Matariki, Olympics). You can either click on a hot topic link from the Many Answers homepage, or go to the ‘Hot Topics’ tag where you can browse both current and previous answers.
