New Visitors' Guide

This page runs through a typical Bookfinder session, from initial search to placing an order.

Making a search

From the Home Page, enter your search criteria in the Search box on the left, for example nuclear and click on the Go button. Bookfinder will respond with a list of publications on that topic.

If you are interested in any of the titles in the list, click on the title of the publication and the details will be displayed.

Ordering a publication

If you wish to order the publication whose details you are viewing, scroll to the bottom of the page and enter the number of copies you wish to order and click on Add to Basket.

You will be returned to the page showing details of the publication together with a confirmation message at the top of the page. Click on Search Results at the top of the page to return to the list of publications. View and order as many publications as you wish.

Alternatively, carry out another search by going back into the Search box.

Completing the Order

When you have ordered all publications, click on View Basket at the top of the page. This will cause the current order to be displayed. You can alter or remove any order line by clicking on the Remove button on that line. You can add new publications by performing another search or returning to Search Results.

When the order lines are correct, click on the Check-out button. You will be prompted for the address where you want the publications delivered. You have the option of selecting your delivery address to be the same as your payment address.

When the delivery details are complete, click on the Submit button. If your address is in the UK, you will be asked if you want a normal (within 10 days) delivery or a quicker delivery - one or two days.

After selecting the delivery option, click on the Check-out button and you will reach the Order Summary page. (Note that if you indicated previously that your delivery and payment details were different, you would be prompted for your payment address.)

On the Order Summary page, you should check all the details, and if necessary amend the order. If you're satisfied with the details, you can choose to submit the order in two ways:

• Clicking on the Check-out button will take you to the online ordering section where you enter credit card details, etc.
• Clicking on the Print Order button and you can mail/fax the form to HSE books.

On-line Ordering

Click on the Check-out button at the bottom of the Order Summary screen. If your order only includes free items your order will be submitted. If your order includes items which incur a cost then you will be asked to enter payment details (either credit card or HSE account details). Once you have done this you should click on the Submit button to place your order.

When your order has been submitted you will be given an order number which you should retain.

Printing the Order

To print the completed form, first click on the Print Order button on the Order Summary page and then follow the on-screen instructions. You can then post or fax the order to HSE Books.
