AVS – Advanced Searching What is AVS –AltaVista Search Engine Technology –Extra purchase from Innovative –Pricing Staggered by library size

AVS - 3 Modes X - Advanced Boolean ( AND OR NOT Limits & Sorts ) –AltaVista Advanced Search Syntax Y - Simple Boolean ( AND OR NOT ) –AltaVista Advanced Search Syntax Z - Altavista simple (+ -) –AltaVista Basic Search Syntax -

Boolean Search Syntax AND & OR | NOT ! BEFORE AFTER NEAR ~ WITHIN Example Searches Xml and html Xml and not html Xml within 3 html Xml near html

AltaVista Simple Search Syntax + Include - Exclude Example Searches +Xml +html +Xml -html

AVS WildCards ? 1 character * 1-5 characters ** unlimited characters Note: Must have at least 3 stem characters

Sample Wildcard Searches Wom?n (women and woman) Trans* (transport not transportation) Trans** (transportation)

AVS and Punctuation These all become spaces in an AVS search : ; ` = %, _ / ^ #

AVS Search Tags a: (author) t: (title) d: (subject) w: n: (notes) genre: Mattype:mattype? Lang:Lang??? Branch:branch???

Sample Tagged Searches a:Beethoven and g:compact discs g:videocassettes

Understanding the AVS URL + searchString + limitString

AVS URL Example search a:beethoven&g=compact%20discs limit &m=j&l=ger&b=&searchscope=1&SORT=A &Da=&Db=

Some Local Practices Catalog e-journals Added author entry for e-journal providers 710 2\$aLexisNexis Academic Forms in genre index 655 \7$aElectronic Journals$2local Special location code for internet resources 1intr

AVS Applied Modifying the User Interface Canned Searching Library Gateway

Modifying the User Interface Phase 3 –Integrates keyword with phrase searches in a single form Before Phase 3 –Dropdown field selection –Additional qualification: resource types (dictionaries, encyclopedias)

Dropdown Field Selection

Resource Types

Modifying the User Interface Post Phase 3 –Integrate pre-qualified AVS searches with phrase searches in a single form

Fully Integrated Interface

Fully Integrated Interface 2

Canned Searching Place search forms outside of vendor interface Taming the complexity while tapping the power Available at point of need Tailored to context

Predefined Searches –All parameters hard coded into URL –Both search terms and qualifiers

Predefined Searches Browse a List of Print and Electronic Newspapers by Title enre:newspapers&searchscope=1&SORT= A

Guided Searches Users enter query in search form Hidden qualifiers provide limits

Guided Search

Rod Library Gateway Gateway as a structured means of organizing information Process centered categories: Find articles Action oriented Melding the catalog into the Gateway Continuity of look and feel Specialized retrieval forms

Gateway: Major Category

Gateway: Subcategory

Gateway: Major Category
