The HILT terminologies server aims to identify JISC services and/or collections likely to have resources relevant to any subject query you may have. The process has three steps:
  1. You enter your search term (or browse the subject hierarchies).
  2. HILT looks for the best matches for your subject and asks you to clarify which is most appropriate.
  3. You choose the most appropriate subject.
  4. HILT tells you about possible services or collections that may interest you, tells you what subject schemes they use, and tells you the best term to use (if it can). It also allows you to connect through and do a search of the services and collections identified.
