The Command Menu, located at the top right of the search screen, is a guide to various sections of BiblioLine. Click the buttons provided in it to explore different areas of functionality within BiblioLine.

The Command Menu consists of the following buttons:

Button	Purpose
	Click the Search button to perform your search and display the number of records found matching your search criteria. The overall Total count is given for searches of more than one field. Individual match numbers are listed beside each field on a field by field basis.
	Each search field has "its own" separate index made up of words, terms, phrases or other entries that can be used for searching. You can also make up your own phrases for searching in most fields. To browse the index of any search field in the Quick Search, put the cursor in the desired search field and click  the Index button   located in the Command Menu. The index entries are displayed  in the results frame below the blue bar. On the left side of each index entry, you will find the total number of matching records and a check box to help you select the index entries for searching. You can automatically insert entries from the index or type them in directly in the search field box. Additional explanations can be found under How Terms are Indexed by clicking the Help button provided on the index display screen.
	The thesaurus is a compilation of descriptors, or key terms, which have been carefully chosen by the database producers to help standardize the terminology used for indexing and searching the database. A  Thesaurus button appears if the database provides this type of  term selection and retrieval. To browse the thesaurus in the Quick Search, put the cursor in the desired search field and click the Thesaurus button  located in the Command Menu. The thesaurus terms are displayed in the results frame below the blue bar. Select individual terms or entire trees to search. You can automatically insert terms from the thesaurus into the chosen search field or type them in directly in the search field box.
	Click the Clear Search button to erase the contents of all the search fields and start a new search strategy.
	Click the Change Search & Display Level button to view all the available options for search and display levels. You have a choice of three search levels:  Quick, Advanced and Expert.

Step 3: Sort/Display/Output Search Results

Back to Top

Step 1: Choose the Search & Display Level

Search & Display Levels

Click the Change Search & Display Level button, located in the Command Menu, to display the Change Search & Display Level window containing all the available options for search and display levels.

Search Levels

Step 2 : Formulate & Submit a Search Strategy

Types of Search Fields

Quick Search is the simplest of the three search levels and yet an efficient way of searching BiblioLine databases.The search fields provided in Quick Search are of two types:

a)    Subject / General search fields
b)    Specific (limit) search fields

a)  Subject / General search fields

BiblioLine provides two Subject / General search fields and these are useful for searching by words found in titles, abstracts, index terms (general, geographic, taxonomic, etc.),  and other descriptive or full texts. They offer several combinations of search methods and Boolean operators in a fully integrated fashion. No need to type in Boolean operators! In other words, Boolean logic has been inbuilt into these search fields--between search words.  Just use the drop box provided adjacent to the search field and select the search option you wish to use. If you still prefer to use the Booleans, select the Boolean search option from the adjacent drop box.

Note: If you have chosen the Split screen display level, you will find only the first Subject / General search field. To view both the first and second Subject / General search fields, select the Full screen display level.

The first Subject / General search field offers the following six options:

The second Subject / General search field contains the following eleven options:

or -- ANY words
or -- ALL words
or -- words near words
or -- contains phrase
or -- exact word order
but not any words
and -- ANY words
and -- ALL words
and -- words near words
and -- contains phrase
and -- exact word order

You can use both the first and second Subject / General search fields in combination and this is a powerful way to narrow search results down to exactly what you want. However, you can use just the first Subject / General search field if that is all your search requires.


b)  Specific (limit) Search Fields

Specific (limit) search fields which are often available in the Quick Search include Author/Editor, Publication Year or range, Name of  Periodical/ Publisher, ISSN/ISBN, etc.

Search Logic within a Specific (limit) Search Field

The default search logic between words or phrases within a Specific (limit) search field is and. However, you can use other Boolean operators such as or and not in the search fields to refine your searches. The use of  Boolean Operators between search terms is not required but they may improve your results.

In addition, several search operators such as truncation (*, ?), range (>, <, >=, <=, to, thru ) and proximity (nearX and adjX,  X = numeric value which signifies the proximity range) have been provided to help you retrieve relevant records. Use them within the search fields where appropriate to sharpen your searches. For details, see search operators (examples).  Insert  parentheses (    ) to group and order the processing of search terms according to your search needs.

Back to Top

Search Logic between Specific (limit) Search Fields

The Boolean operator and connects all of the Specific (limit) Search Fields  to one another. Although this Boolean operator is not visible on the screen, whenever you perform a search in the Quick mode using more than one search field, the search is done as if the Boolean operator and  is present between the search fields. For instance, when you type "Davidson" in the author field, "2002" in the publication year  field and click on the Search button, logically the search is treated as:

Davidson and 2002

The above search will retrieve records relating to the works written by Davidson in the year 2002.

In simple terms, the Boolean operator and operates between all search fields although it is invisible. The and operator cannot be changed in Quick Search; however, the Advanced Search and Expert Search modes allow any type of Boolean logic between the search fields.

Performing a Search

Searches can be general, using only the Subject / General search field, or narrowed through use of one or more of the other Specific (limit) search fields such as Author, Title, Publisher, Publication Year, etc. As already stated, the default search logic between the various search fields in Quick Search is and. That is, the Boolean operator and connects and operates between the search fields although it is not visible on the screen. Remember, however, the more search fields used, the fewer the search results since the records retrieved must meet all the search criteria specified.

To begin your search, just type in words or phrases in one or more of the fields provided. Connect words or phrases with search operators including Boolean operators (and, or, not), truncation (*, ?), range (>, <, >=, <=, to, thru), proximity (nearX and adjX). These search techniques can be used  to exclude unwanted records as well as retrieve intended, meaningful records. Use parenthesis (    ) to group search terms and direct the order of their processing according to your search needs. Then, press the Enter key or click the Search button to start the search. The results appear instantaneously in the results screen below in the form of citations.

Click the view Database Record link provided at the end of each citation to view its full record.

Apart from the standard view Database Record link, BiblioLine has many other specialised types of links to the Full Record format.  If the database record itself has links to other information, you are informed of the same. Click here to know about the various specialised links provided by BiblioLine to help you surf  via links to quality information at every click!

If the database record provides links to OpenURL services such as LinkFinder Plus, SFX and 1-Cate, then you will find an OpenURL Links drop box at the end of the citation. Click this drop box to select the service provider of your choice.

Search History

The Search History lists all queries submitted to BiblioLine during your search session using either the Quick or Advanced Searches. A search session begins once you log onto BiblioLine, remains active as you change databases, and ends when you click the red Logout link in the Command Menu.

All aspects of each query such as the database name, search mode, search fields, search terms & operators, and number of retrieved records are recorded.

The Search History shows queries used in both the Quick and Advanced Searches. When you move from Quick to Advanced or vice versa, your entire search history is transferred to the new search mode. You can even reuse individual searches in Advanced Search which were originally created in Quick Search and vice versa.

You can transfer all your queries from the Quick and/or Advanced Searches (that is, the entire search history) to the Expert Search in a single step by clicking on the Transfer all Queries to Search-Sets (combine sets in Expert mode) link. Each query becomes a different search set which you can combine with other sets. (Note: If you transfer your search strategy from the Advanced Search to Expert Search without using the Search History option, each field of the Advanced Search is separated into a search set in the Expert mode, the last search set retrieves the final result. This method of search strategy transfer is preferable whenever you need to have the search fields represented as individual sets.)

Click the Print Search History link for a printed copy of all queries used during a search session.

Unless you save it, Search History gets automatically deleted when you exit from BiblioLine. To save your Search History, click the Save Search History link and view the Save / Retrieve / Delete Search Strategy window. Give a name to your Search History and click the Save button. Your Search History is saved under the given name along with the extension (SEARCH HISTORY). It remains ready for use in another BiblioLine search session another day. Select the Advanced Search and just click the Save/Retrieve Search button in the Command Menu to display the Save / Retrieve / Delete Search Strategy window. Select the desired Search History from this new window and click the Retrieve button to put your Search History back in force. You may delete a saved Search History by selecting its name and clicking the Delete button.

Sometimes, you may want to save a specific query rather than the whole search history. You can do this by clicking on the Save Query button provided with each query. The procedure is same as used for saving a Search History. In addition, a number of buttons are available for each query to perform a variety of operations:

Click the Delete button to delete a particular query.
Click the Reuse button to replace your current search strategy with a particular Search History query.
Click the Copy to Expert Mode button to automatically transfer your query to the Expert search mode for set searching.

Click the Clear link to delete your entire search history and start fresh again.

You can close the Search History window by clicking the Close link or Close button located at top right of the browser window. Don’t worry, you can always retrieve the entire history by clicking on the Search History link.

Step 3 : Sort / Display / Output Search Results

BiblioLine offers three formats for record display and output:

• citations
• citations+abstracts
• full records

You can apply these formats either to all the records found by your search or to only those records you have marked. In all, both for record display and record output you have six options each:

The default format for most products is: all Citations.

Back to Top

Record Count

At the top of the record display screen are a series of numbers representing the range of record numbers displayed, the total number of records retrieved in the search performed and the number of records marked.

Examples:

Records 1 to 30 of 78,926 (Citations) (0 marked)

This record count status line indicates that you are currently viewing record numbers 1 through 30 out of a total of 78,926 records with none currently marked.

Records 31 to 60 of 78,926 (Citations) (show 2 marked)

This record count status line shows that you are currently viewing record numbers 31 through 60 out of a total of 78,926 records with two records marked. To view only the marked records, click the 2 marked link.

If you are searching more than one database, you will also find a box listing the names of all the databases searched and the number of records retrieved from each database. Click the database name to view its results.The Total = indicates the total number of records retrieved from all the databases searched.

In addition, in some databases BiblioLine also indicates, just above the record count, the number of new records added to the database since the last two updates.

Example:

Click to view 90 New articles added since June 2, 2003. A total of 148 New since Apr. 10, 2003.

Click the  record count button  to view only the new records added after that particular update.

Back to Top

Relevance Ranking

Relevance Ranking indicates how many search terms are found in that database record and/or associated journal article (if displayed by BiblioLine). To display relevance ranking details, select the 'yes' radio button from the Rank by Relevance option provided at the top left of the search screen.

The "hits" count appears in red at the end of each citation.

Once you have set relevance ranking to 'yes' , the results of successive searches are displayed by relevance as long as you do not switch search modes or change databases. To turn off Relevance Ranking details, select the 'no' radio button. This is BiblioLine's default display order and in this the records are displayed in descending chronological sequence-- the most recently published literature being displayed first.

Sometimes you may notice that the "hits" count of a preceding record is less than the following record. Such a record, nonetheless, is judged to be more relevant despite the fact that overall search term usage happens to be less (than in the following record). This is because BiblioLine uses a complex set of algorithms based on several parameters to determine the most relevant records rather than a simplistic mechanical count of the number of times a search term appears in a particular database record. The parameters used by BiblioLine include, among others, the following:

1)  the overall frequency of search word (or phrase) usage in record text or full-text

2)  the location of search words: for instance, usage in titles or index terms receives priority

3)  the importance of the search words: for example, "ANDed" words are usually more important than "ORed" words

4)  the kind of product: full-text products are weighted differently than bibliographic & abstract products

Thus, using BiblioLine's relevance ranking option, you can be sure of retrieving the most relevant records on the fly.
