18 Indexing Terms  Database producers also add indexing terms that highlight the key concepts covered in the document.  Indexing terms typically are controlled terminology.  Assignment of uniform indexing terms to records within a database allows searchers to accurately locate documents on a particular topic.

19 Indexing Terms

20 Indexes All Fields have their own Index Terms Field Index Record N°s ABC..ABC.. n 1 n 2 n 3... n 1 n 2 n 20... n 2 n 20 n 50....

21 Specify how terms will be associated in the answers using –AND –OR –NOT Associate terms with logic operators

22 AND AND - Associating two or more terms with AND retrieves answers (records) containing all of the terms For example: A search of DOG AND CAT in the CAplus file results in the STN response: 36871DOG 27943CAT 1874DOG AND CAT The response from STN tells you that: 36871 records contain the term DOG 27943 records contain the term CAT 1874 records contain both terms DOG AND CAT The response from STN tells you that: 36871 records contain the term DOG 27943 records contain the term CAT 1874 records contain both terms DOG AND CAT Associate terms with logic operators

23 OR OR - Associating two or more terms with OR retrieves answers containing at least one of the terms For example: A search of DOG OR CAT in the CAplus file results in the STN response: 36871DOG 27943CAT 62940 DOG OR CAT The response from STN tells you that: 62940 records contain either DOG, CAT, or both. NOTE NOTE: Use OR to associate synonyms. Enclose terms connected by OR in parentheses. Associate terms with logic operators

24 NOT NOT - Associating two or more terms with NOT retrieves answers containing the first term, but not the second. For example: A search of DOG NOT CAT in the CAplus file results in the STN response: 36871DOG 27943CAT 34997 DOG NOT CAT ALERT ALERT: The NOT operator should be used with caution to avoid eliminating valid answers. The response from STN tells you that: 34997 records contain the term DOG but not the term CAT. The response from STN tells you that: 34997 records contain the term DOG but not the term CAT. Associate terms with logic operators

25 Associate terms with logic operators AND AB A and B

26 Associate terms with logic operators OR AB A or B

27 Associate terms with logic operators NOT A B A not B B not A

120 Tools for Refining Searches - Summary Techniques for broadening a search: Use truncation Use more alternate search terms in the query  Synonyms  File-specific indexing terms  Variations in spelling  Acronyms  File-specific abbreviations

121 Techniques for narrowing a search: Choose more specific search terms Add another concept to the search query  Use specialized indexes Use proximity operators to specify the relative closeness of search terms to each other within the answer: (W) Terms adjacent to each other, in the order typed (A) Terms adjacent to each other, in either order (S) Terms in the same sentence (L) Terms in the same field Tools for Refining Searches - Summary

122 Technique for ranking search results: Use FOCUS to rearrange answers in relevance order Tools for Refining Searches - Summary

123 1 Find information in the MEDLINE database on job stress in the dental profession. Use proximity operators to adjust the size and focus of your answer set. Use the FOCUS feature to arrange the answers in relevance order. 2 Use the PROMT (Predicasts Overviews of Markets and Technology) file to locate business information on the development of new gourmet coffee flavors. Isolate those documents written between 1996 and 1999. Display results in relevance order. Skills Practice

124 -In the FSTA database, locate publications by Saul Katz on methods for decaffeinating coffee. -In the CABA database, locate publications by P.K.

EMBASE contains more than 8,772,090 citations (11/01) for the time period 1974-present and is updated weekly. Records contain bibliographic information; controlled terms (EMTREE drug and medical descriptors, EMTREE codes); drug trade names and manufacturers; and medical device trade names and manufacturers (1998-present). Approximately 80% of the records include abstracts, and many include CAS Registry Numbers (R).

All information is searchable. The Basic Index contains single words from the document titles (TI), controlled term (CT), chemical names (drug and medical devices trade names) (CN), gene number (GEN), company (manufacturer) names (CO), names of product (NP), and abstract (AB) fields, as well as CAS Registry Numbers. The only words that are not indexed are the stopwords, AN, AND, AS, AT, BY, FOR, FROM, IN, NOT, OF, ON, OR, THE, TO, and WITH. Other information, such as author names, is searched by using field qualifiers, e.g., S JONES, E A/AU.

273 Select The Select command is used to select term(s) contained in a field: => Sel rn => Sel hit rn => Sel ct => Sel cn => Sel ic => Sel it => Sel pn.....

274 The term(s) extracted by the Select command, if searched, are searched in the same field from which were extracted. (For example: Terms extracted from /CN field, if searched, are searched with /CN suffix.) Select

275 You can change the searching field: => (terms from Select command)/BI Select

276 There are in Registry two Select orders: => Sel chem => Sel name (the first extracts RNs and Other Names, the second extracts only Other Names) which change the fields of extraction to /BI. Select
