Tips for searching the OMI website
The links on this website to brochures and
catalogs
are provided in HTML and
PDF (sometimes both): Clicking on a "thumbnail image" usually fetches
the HTML
version, while clicking on a highlighted text downloads a PDF file to
your computer; it will open in Acrobat Reader or a similar
application if installed. The newest browsers (such as Safari ver.3)
open PDFs transparently (in memory) without downloading them.
Although we recommend browsing the various pages of the OMI website to get a complete picture of our offerings, there are times when you might want to search for a particular title, author, composer, printer, illuminator or editor. In these cases, you may use the Google search engine on this page. Simply enter a keyword or several keywords (enclose multiple words in quotes for an exact-phrase search) in the above window and press the “Search” button. This will search the entire OMI website and display the results as clickable links which may be either HTML or PDF pages.

About PDFs
OMI uses PDF (portable document format) files for many items on this website—especially genre catalogs and illustrated art catalogs—because the information is highly formatted and because PDF files are printer-friendly and produce nearly identical results on all computer systems. Clicking a catalog (i.e., highlighted text) will download the catalog to your computer (the newest browers such as Safari ver. 3 simply open the PDF without downloading it). If you don't have a program to open the PDF you can download, free, Adobe Acrobat Reader.
