Hello and welcome to this video tutorial on how to perform an IndexCat advanced search.
Advanced searching is available only for the Index-Catalogue and eTKeVK2 collections.
Select Advanced Search located next to the search box.
The IndexCat Advanced Search menu will appear.
From the 'Select a Source' box, choose Index-Catalogue or eTKeVK2.
I will choose Index-Catalogue.
Then, go to the 'Find results with' box.
Choose a field: All Fields, Author, Date, ID, Subject, Title/Journal Title, and Type of Resource.
I will select Subject and enter the word 'influenza'.
It is important to note that punctuation, case, and word order are ignored.
Searches can be narrowed by using more terms in the additional boxes.
Select the plus '+' sign to add additional boxes and use the minus '-' sign to remove boxes.
A maximum of 5 search boxes may be added.
I will add another search box and then select from the drop-down list
which Boolean operator I want applied to the search terms: AND, OR, or NOT.
I have selected AND.
Choose Date and enter '1860' in the search box.
Once all desired fields are chosen.
Click the Search button to begin your search or select the Reset button to clear the search page.
6 results are shown matching the subject: influenza AND the date 1860.
If you are using Internet Explorer, the 'Compatibility View' must be turned off in the browser.
In order to do so, open Internet Explorer then in the Menu bar, select Tools then select Compatibility View to make sure it is unchecked.
