Abstract
Most library resources also provide an abstract for each result. An abstract is a brief summary of a book, article, video, or other resource.
Example:
"CrossFit® is an increasingly popular exercise modality that uses high intensity power training. The literature to date regarding CrossFit® has focused on its benefits to VO2 Max, body composition and the motivational variables of participants of CrossFit®. A computerized survey was distributed to CrossFit® instructors using Survey Monkey®. One hundred and ninety-three CrossFit® instructors responded to the survey. Of these 86.6% reported being a certified CrossFit® instructor with 26.7% having a bachelor's degree in an exercise-related field. Instructors with a CrossFit® certification have less bachelor's or master's degrees compared to those without a CrossFit® certification."
