How do I find information on the NATO Lessons Learned Portal (NLLP)?

 

There are two ways to find information on the NLLP, Browsing and Searching:

Browsing: you freely navigate through the site following the links and information on the pages

Searching: you access the Search Centre and by entering your key search words the search engine will return a list of matching results. For your convenience,  a list of the available metadata (will be also provided) for the results to help you filter the information.

 

Faceted Search results

 

Search Centre:

  1. Select search scope - By default this will search all Portal but can be selected to search only the Information & Knowledge Sharing area or the Managed Lessons Learned area.
  2. Keyword search box – Insert one or more key-words to search on the site. A space between words is an implicit “OR”, the plus “+” and the minus “-“ operators before a word can also be used and will work as “AND” and “NOT” for the following word.
  3. Search button.
  4. Link to the advanced search page.
  5. If available will show a definition of the search keyword.
  6. If available will show a best bet (most likely result of your interest) for the search keywords suggesting a site to visit.
  7. List of available metadata on the search results. Clicking on the link offered will add the facet (a category of metadata) to the filter (see next point).
  8. Facet added to the search that will filter the results. To remove the facet click on the red cross.
