The BHL portal is constantly changing as new features are added and old ones imporoved. Still, to better help you use the BHL portal “as it is” today, some BHL member library staff have created some quick “how to” videos to assist your use of the portal.
There are currently two videos available:
- BHL Portal PDF Creation. A step by step guide to creating PDFs (see below)
- BHL Name Finding. Using the URL method
- BHL Name Finding via the Search Box. This method involves using the Search box
Please let us know via comments or email (bhl@si.edu) if there are other instructional videos you would find helpful!
