# Research Library

The Research Library is the catalog of Sterling's current research: one latest report for every company covered. Open **Research Library** in the sidebar.

## Browsing

With no filters set, the Library opens in discovery view. A billboard at the top features one report with its cover, ticker, date, company, title, and a subtitle with the live share price and upside; beneath it, **Share Price**, **Price Target**, and **Upside %**, a play control for the narration, and **Open report**.

Below the billboard, shelves group reports you can scroll through:

| Shelf              | Contents                             |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
| **Fresh Drops**    | The newest reports.                  |
| **Big Upside**     | Upside to target above 25%.          |
| **Abandon Ship**   | Downside to target beyond 25%.       |
| **Stable Outlook** | Within 25% of the target either way. |
| Theme shelves      | One shelf per investment theme.      |

Each report appears on one shelf only. Hover near a shelf's edge to scroll it.

## Filtering

Open **Filters** to narrow the catalog. Any filter switches the Library to a results grid, newest first, headed by the count of reports and companies.

* **Search** for a company by name or ticker (three characters or more).
* **Sectors**, defaulting to all.
* **Themes**, with **Show N more** to expand the list.
* **Sterling Labs forecast**: **Big upside**, **Abandon ship**, or **Stable outlook**.

**Clear all** resets. Filters are kept in the page address, so a filtered view can be bookmarked or shared. On a phone the filters open as a sheet.

## Listening

Reports with narration play in a player that stays with you as you move around the app. One report plays at a time; the player offers speed, volume, and a close control.

## Opening a report

Select a card or **Open report** to read it under the company's **Research** pages. See [Research reports](/research/research-reports.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sterlinglabs.co/research/research-library.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
