Browsing the annual reports on-line is similar to viewing the paper reports.You may read them through page-by-page, skip ahead from one section to another, consult a volume's index, and go from one volume to another within a citation. However, each title is divided into several citations covering one to over 100 academic years. Between citations, you must return to the list of citations to get the next range of academic years.
