Below are the resources that came up under the ACPA search function. The search function just pulls up the link and a brief context where the search word can be found in the text. The link then links to the resources listed below. Starting on page 10 of this document is the actual search results. As can be seen in the search results the ACPA search function needs to be refined – the link does not truly represent what it is linked to. For example YSK Print File and YSK 122.P7 do not always link to the same document or YSK No. 22. I thought that it was important to include this information so we could work on the search function to make it a tool that would be very useful to find information quickly and easily for people using the website.
