NA&ME Reference Room Search

Composite Search

This search is a composite search, that will search (case-INSENSITIVE) for substring matches in several fields of the database:

Title
Author
Keyword

You can combine multiple fields and apply expressions to them to restrict your search.

Choose Fields for Output
Title	Author	Year	Library	Call #	Keywords	Type	Journal Name	Agencies

Include	Operator	Field	Negation	Search Value
		Title
		Author
		Keyword

NOTE: Technically, the expressions you use in the fields are regular expressions, so if you know regular expressions, you can use them in the search fields above.

USAGE: Basically, you can string together values using the operator and negation fields to produce a more sophisticated search to prune your answers. To successively narrow your search, experiment with the form.

If you are not interested in narrowing your search for a particular field, simply leave it blank (and it implicitly will match everything).
To find everything that is NOT matched, simply select IS_NOT in the negation menu for the appropriate field. To match values, select IS from the negation menu.
Order of evaluation is top to bottom (ie, satisfies TITLE first, then AUTHOR, then KEYWORD).
To exclude fields from the search, simply unclick the appropriate radio box under the Include field.

Simple Search

This search is a keyword search, that will search (case-INSENSITIVE) for substring matches in several fields of the database:

Title
Author
Journal Name

Additional search engines with greater flexibility will be implemented in the future.

NOTE: Technically, this is a regular expression search engine, so if you know regular expressions, you can use them in the search phrase field above.
Soooo... to search for 'propeller', with an author name of 'Forward', you might try something like:

   propeller.*Forward

as your search term.

If you are looking for information on FINITE ELEMENT METHOD, you can enter the phrase as it is, since the words are adjacent and are likely to be in this order in the title. For example:

        FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

If the words you are looking for are not likely to be adjacent, you can enter the information in the following way:

        RESEARCH.*EDUCATION|EDUCATION.*RESEARCH

This format applies to author names as well as titles.

Cataloguing information about each record is abbreviated. Contact the NAME Reference Room for further information.
