The ArticleFirst database describes items listed on the table of contents pages of individual issues of nearly 13,000 journals. Each record describes one article, news story, letter, or other item from a journal.
Most records provide a list of libraries that hold the journal title.
For any FirstSearch label where multiple USE attributes are listed all the atributes will provide the exact same search result sets. Any USE attribute that is not marked as a restrictor is available via the SCAN service. Restrictors are specially implemented indexes and are not available for scanning. Terms for these must be ANDed with other terms to limit the size of the result set. See the table provided for each restrictor to determine valid terms and their associated meaning.
