This section of the Guide covers four fundamental steps that must be taken during the course of a search on the ETOH Web Site. The search screen is a web page containing a set of specific search prompts. A word, phrase, or term can be typed at each prompt. Each prompt corresponds to a specific field in the database. For example, typing Smith in the Author prompt will search the database for all records that were written by an individual with the last name of Smith.
Users can select from four available search screens.
Listed in the following table are the search prompts available at each search screen. After deciding what to search for, type the word , phrase , or term next to the appropriate search prompt. For example, to find records with the author Altman, type Altman in the Author field. To view indexed search terms, click on the word wheel button. A phrase is a combination of words such as large intestine, gamma globulins, fetal alcohol syndrome, etc.
