If you are experiencing trouble navigating the Revs Digital Library (RDL), we have created a step-by-step guide intended to show you how to search, find the image you are looking for, see all the descriptive information for that image (also known as metadata), and how to buy an image.

1. Navigate to the upper right-hand search box and type in your search terms, for example: “12 Hours of Sebring,” and then hit Enter
2. The next screen will be the results page of all the images that contain your search term “12 Hours of Sebring” somewhere in the metadata for that image
3. There may be many pages of results depending on how general your search is. You can scroll down your screen and visually look for an image that suits your needs, or you can use the facets on the left-hand side of the screen to narrow your search.
