You can search the Library using learning topics or keyword search to quickly access specific lessons and articles.
Note: Some organizations have access to a limited HSI Blue Ocean Brain Library consisting of specifically curated Lessons. The following article applies to organizations accessing the full HSI Blue Ocean Brain Library.
The HSI Blue Ocean Brain (BOB) Library contains thousands of Lessons on a variety of professional development topics. There are two ways to search the Library: Learning Topic Search and Keyword Search.
Learning Topic Search
On the left side of the Library landing page, you'll find different Learning Topics under "Discover Learning Topics" heading.
To explore lessons and articles within a topic, select your desired topic. Beneath the Learning Topic is a short description of the type of content learners can explore, including subcategories to further refine your search. Selecting a subtopic displays Lessons that address that particular topic; selecting a Lesson opens the first Article of that Lesson.
To view all subtopics within each Learning Topic, select Browse All under Discover Learning Topics on the left side.
Note: If your organization has any company-specific content or educational webcast recordings, those options will be available here as well.
Keyword Search
To search for additional lessons or articles using a specific keyword or words, enter the desired search terms into the box labeled "Search for skills and topics" at the top center of the page.
A dropdown menu containing 5 suggestions based on the search terms will appear. Either select one of the suggestions, or press enter to view all search results.
Select Load More Results at the bottom of the page to expand the list of results.
To change how your search results are sorted, select the dropdown menu under Sort Order and select either "Relevance" or "Newest".
To change the type of search results that are displayed, select Filter. From here, you can filter your search results by:
- Content Type: Select "All Content" to see both lessons and articles, "Lessons" to see only full lessons, "Articles" to see only individual articles, or "Video-Centric" to see video only content.
- Completion Status: Select "All" to see all content, "In Progress" to see content you've begun but haven't completed, "Completed" to see content you've completed, and "Not Started" to see content you have not yet interacted with!
- Video Included: Select "All" to see all content, "Has Video" to see content with video resources embedded, and "Has No Video" to see content that does not include video resources.
- Lesson Brief Included: Select this checkbox to see lessons and articles that have an accompanying Lesson Brief.
- Currently Bookmarked: Select this checkbox to return to content you have bookmarked in HSI Blue Ocean Brain.
Once you have selected your desired filters on your search results, select Apply to refine your search results. Select Clear to remove any filters from your search results.
