NLM is pleased to announce the launch of a new user interface for the <a href="//indexcat.nlm.nih.gov/vivisimo/cgi-bin/query-meta?v:project=indexcat&v:sources=indexcat&sortby=ID">IndexCat</a> database. Utilizing the IBM<span class="registered">®</span> InfoSphere Data Explorer (DE) software, the new interface offers a faster response time to searches; full record displays in search results; and also record sorting and refinements. NLM also uses DE as the search engine for our main Web site, as well as MedlinePlus, MedlinePlus en Español, the Directory of the History of Medicine Collections search engine, and the History of Medicine Finding Aids Consortium. The DuraSpace Fedora platform will be used for storage of the data.
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
IndexCat simultaneously searches the digitized version of the printed <em>Index-Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon General's Office</em>; <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/indexcat/aboutetkevk2.html">eTK</a> for medieval Latin texts; and <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/indexcat/aboutetkevk2.html">eVK2</a> for medieval English texts; and LocatorPlus. You can link directly to LocatorPlus and, if onsite, can request materials to research in the library.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
A <a href="//circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov/2014/03/04/indexcat-search-it-read-it-download-it/">post</a> in the NLM <em>Circulating Now</em> blog offers additional information on IndexCat.

<h2>Searching the New IndexCat</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
There are a number of new and revised <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/indexcat/help/index.html">FAQs</a> and <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/indexcat/help/icatcontents.html">Help</a> pages to assist with searching IndexCat. </p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
When you enter a search term, the Index-Catalogue, eTKeVK2, and LocatorPlus tabs are displayed. To see your search results, click on the respective tab. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
The new IndexCat features include: </p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>keyword searching for terms anywhere in the bibliographic description (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>);</li>
|
||
<li>search refinements and sorting options (see Figures <a href="#fig2">2</a> and <a href="#fig3">3</a>);</li>
|
||
<li>combination searching using Boolean AND, OR, or NOT (see <a href="#fig4">Figure 4</a>);</li>
|
||
<li>phrase searching using double quotes (see <a href="#fig5">Figure 5</a>); and</li>
|
||
<li>final truncation using an asterisk * (see <a href="#fig6">Figure 6</a> illustrates searching without truncation and <a href="#fig7">Figure 7</a> for searching with truncation).</li>

||
|
