<p>The History of Medicine Division (HMD) of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) announces the
|
||
launch of a new user interface for its premier database, <a href="//indexcat.nlm.nih.gov">IndexCat</a>, along with the addition of two new collections involving medieval scientific English and Latin texts.</p>
|
||
<p>Utilizing software developed by Ex Libris, Inc., the new IndexCat interface offers improved viewing capabilities and new layouts for search results and record displays. IndexCat is available free of charge.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2>New Homepage</h2>
|
||
<p>IndexCat has a new <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/indexcat/ichome.html">homepage</a> with these major sections (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>):</p>

<h2>New Collections</h2>
|
||
<p>The two new collections are an NLM-supported project undertaken in conjunction with the University of Missouri-Kansas City. These seminal, historical collections are developed from the enriched electronic database of <em>A Catalogue of Incipits of Mediaeval Scientific Writings in Latin</em> (rev.) by Lynn Thorndike and Pearl Kibre (eTK) and the updated and expanded version of <em>Scientific Writings in Old and Middle English: An Electronic Reference</em> (eVK2) edited by Linda Ehrsam Voigts and Patricia Deery Kurtz (see <a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>). Opening a new frontier in historical research, these resources encompass over 42,000 records of incipits, or the beginning words of a medieval manuscript or early printed book. IndexCat users can search incipit data by manuscript, library, author/translator, title, subject, date and other information. See <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/indexcat/aboutetkevk2.html">eTK/eVK2 Project</a> for more information. </p>

|
||
|

|
||
<h2>Search Page Changes</h2>
|
||
<p><strong>Quick Search Tab</strong><br />
|
||
There now are additional search categories on the Quick Search tab (see <a href="#fig3">Figure 3</a>):</p>
|
||
<ul><li>Keyword Anywhere (automatic AND)</li>
|
||
<li>Keyword Anywhere Search</li>
|
||
<li>Author Search</li>
|
||
<li>Date Search</li>
|
||
<li>ID Number Search</li>
|
||
<li>Item Type Search (Index-Catalogue only)</li>
|
||
<li>Language Search (eVK2 only)</li>
|
||
<li>Subject Search</li>
|
||
<li>Title/Journal Title Search</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>The same categories are also offered on the Advanced Search tab.</p>
|
||
<br /> <br />
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>My Documents Tab</strong><br />
|
||
You now have the ability to select multiple records from the Results Display page after a search to save to the My Documents page (see <a href="#fig4">Figure 4</a>).</p>
|
||
<p>You can save a maximum of 100 records to the My Documents page.</p>
|
||
<p>Using the My Documents page, you can select multiple items to print, download, or e-mail.</p>
|
||
<p>The My Documents records list is cumulative up to 100 records unless you remove items. You can add records from different searches during the same IndexCat access session. IndexCat does not retain your saved records if you exit or disconnect.</p>

|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>New FAQs and Help Pages</h2>
