Getting Around.
On the top and bottom of most every page in the site are menus. Each word or phrase in each menu clicks to a location on the site. You can be sure you've come across a link when your mouse arrow turns into a pointing finger. Every underlined word or phrase within the text is also a direct link to the topic being discussed. Often you will see a button that says "Tell me more." This is also a key to finding further information on the subject.

Finding what you're looking for.
At the top of each page is a PRODUCT SEARCH box into which you may enter a product number (55347 or 56.55347) or a "keyword," a word contained in the title of the piece you are trying to find. Then click "GO."

Click on the words PRODUCT SEARCH to search for products in groups: an entire line, a specific year or retired or current lists of product. For example, to find all current pieces in the Snow Village line, in the Product Line box, select "Snow Village", in the year box keep it "Show all years, " and in the Retirement status box, select current. Then click "SEARCH". Click "View without pictures" if you want to generate a text only list (this is also the way to get all products listed on one page) or view thumbnail images (8 to a page). Each type clicks to a larger picture and details on each product.

You can get the same results by clicking on PRODUCTS, selecting a line and then clicking on "New," "Current," "Retired," or "All" in the left menu of each product line page.

"NEW PRODUCTS" and "RETIRED PRODUCTS" appearing at the top right corner of each page, work in a similar fashion. To create a list of retired products for the year 2004, just select the year and click "CREATE LIST." To see the retired products in a certain product line, just select the line in addition to the year.
