How to search a PDF file:    Find all mentions of a keyword by selecting the Search image (binoculars) or keying (Shift+Ctrl+F) and then typing the word you are looking for. With any version of Adobe Acrobat Reader over 7.0, all examples of this word will appear with a single search. We therefore recommend use of Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 (or higher). The Adobe Acrobat Reader is free and available here

Choosing between html or pdf files:   Since a html file loads faster then a pdf file, use the html Table of Contents format if you are looking for a single occurance of your keyword (e.g. a specific year or a specific title). However, use the pdf files if looking for multiple occurances (e.g. all the articles written by a specific author or all articles discussing a specific species). The pdf files will also give you more control over printing options.
