Walker, Geraldene Janes, Joseph Access to Information Bibliographic Databases Higher Education Library Education Online Catalogs Online Searching Online Systems Reference Services Relevance (Information Retrieval) Search Strategies Subject Index Terms Thesauri Vocabulary This book is designed to assist the beginning searcher of those online systems that primarily provide information in the form of bibliographic citations. These systems also contain files in other formats that are designed to provide answers to reference-type questions.

Topics covered include: overview of online searching; search protocols; use of a command language; search design; controlled vocabulary searching; free-text searching; search interview; sophisticated search features and capabilities of online systems; multiple file searching; overview of citation indexes, full-text files, and reference databases; evaluation of searches; management issues; direct user access on online databases; and the Internet.
