Book Owners Online is built using the software which underpins Wikipedia, and works in the same ways.
It can be SEARCHED using keywords, entered into the box in the top right of any screen - a name, a subject, a date, any word or words which are included in pages should be found like this, with a list of entries matching a search displayed at the bottom of the results screen.
Categories provide the key functionality for BROWSING. Each entry is flagged with subject headings reflecting the background of the owner (academic, aristocracy, schoolmaster, etc), kinds of ownership marking (e.g. armorial stamps, bookplates), and ways in which libraries were bequeathed or dispersed (e.g. given to parishes or institutions, sold by auction). Click on the Categories link to see a full list of browsable headings.
