Published in 1992, like the first, this second edition is not
intended as introductory textbook command-driven, Boolean
searching. It is targeted at online searchers who already have some
knowledge of command languages and may be proficient searchers on
databases in one or two subject areas, but when required to venture
into new and less familiar territory still need guidance. It is
also offered to end users who possess the subject expertise but
lack of information retrieval know-how. The Manual is offered as a
guide to database selection and a navigational aid through the
twists and turns of the retrieval maze; at least some of the dead
ends and backtracking may thereby be avoided. This volume, written
by experts in their various fields, deals with the subject coverage
and record structures of specific databases, offers comparisons
between databases (context, indexing procedures, updating policies,
etc.), discusses the choice between online and CD-ROM sources (and
between hosts if online is selected), and illustrates strategies
with numerous search extracts.
