| How To Search Social Service Abstracts |
Keyword:
Truncation:
The truncation and wildcard symbols can be used anywhere in your search term, except as the first character. You can use the truncation symbol (*) as a substitute for any string of zero or more characters in your search term. For example, the search adolesc* retrieves any record containing "adolescent," "adolescents," "adolescence," etc.
You can use the wildcard symbol (?) as a substitute for one character or none. For example, the search m?cdonald retrieves records containing "McDonald" or "MacDonald".
Beginning a search request with an operator (and, not, or, with, near, or in) automatically combines that request with the previous one. For instance, if the search you just completed is child abuse, searching for and intervention will give you the same results as if you search for child abuse and intervention. Similarly, the search stress followed by the search in ti is the same as stress in ti.
Subject Terms:
The Descriptor (DE) and the Classification Code (CL) fields help you focus your search to articles on a specific topic. For example, to find records about group therapy methods for victims of wife abuse, you might perform the following search:
1. Enter (battered-women or spouse-abuse) in de. This finds records containing either descriptor term.
2. Enter and 2240 in cl. This limits the search to records discussing group therapy (the code 2240 stands for
Group-Work-Group-Therapy). Beginning the search with an operator automatically combines it with the previous
search.
Author:
The AU field identifies the person(s) responsible for the intellectual content of the document. When searching, put the last name first and hyphenate all names and initials. If you are uncertain of an author's name, look it up in the Index.
Title: TI field allows you to search by specific titles of articles, books, films, journal names, etc.
Examples: 1988 (single year)
1988 - 1990 (range of years)
1988 - (works published since 1987)
All codes and phrases used in the Classification Code (CL) field are listed below. Note that some groups of codes (the 1300, 2300, 3300 and 4300 groups) are valid only for records dating from 1994. Some of these code phrases are duplicates; for most effective searching, use both codes.

How To Determine If Randall Library Owns The Article Cited
To find out if Randall Library owns the resource cited, click on the Check Your Library link at the top right of each
citation. A catalog record for the periodical displays if Randall Library owns it. Periodicals are located on the ground floor
of Randall Library.NOTE: The check your library function works by matching the journal's International Standard Serial Number (ISSN). If it is not entered in the Social Services Abstracts record or is entered incorrectly, the match may not work even though the library owns the publication. Social Services Abstracts' quality control seems quite good, but you may wish to double check journal titles in the catalog with a journal title search.
