    As part of our Central Discovery Index project (CDI), we have created a graph database that contains relationships between records so that users can explore the following types of relationships easily from a record's full display.

    Supported Related Reading Relationships
    Relation from Relation to Usage

    Books (local and CDI)

    Chapters of the book (CDI)

    Enables users to view specific chapters from the book.

    After displaying a record's full details, one or more links to related reading information may appear for the record:

    Related Reading Links

    The number at the end of the link indicates how many relationships exist with the record.

    Selecting a related reading link displays the related items on a results page where users can decide which items to view.
