Category analysis

If you perform a search that retrieves titles with different classification numbers, the e-library analyzes them and returns a list of categories in the You Found Books in Categories box.

For example: You perform a Words Anywhere search for GARDENING. The search finds 298 items, and you don't know where to begin looking. On the results page, Acorn provides a You Found Books in Categories box, containing an analysis of the classifications of all 298 titles retrieved in the search, the results of which are compiled into broad categories. You can choose to narrow your GARDENING search by selecting the category that best describes the information you are looking for.
