Finally, something up my alley of curiosity that addresses, or at
least raises, one of my biggest problems with RefMan: Advanced
Search that searches for data in all/multiple fields. I learned how to
Search in EndNote and am going crazy trying to write out instructions
for how users of my on-line data base can search it and get the same
logical results that I do.
Here is my current instruction for this:
To search for 2 different words in 2 fields (such as articles written by
Virginia Atchley about Mitsuhiro):
Atchley* All Non-Indexed Fields
OR Atchley* All Indexed Fields
AND Mitsuhiro* All Non-Indexed Fields
OR Mitsuhiro* All Indexed Fields
I understand Boolean math and symbols, but with Indexed Fields, All
Non-Indexed Text Fields, And, Or, etc, I cannot get consistency in
searches that match similar searches of the identical database in
Endnote. I
I started in Endnote and continue to enter all of my data in EndNote,
then transfer it to Reference Manager to put it out on the Internet as
an on-line database, since that feature in EndNote was cancelled many
years ago.
The book was not helpful, tech support was nice, but not helpful, and I
am told that I am virtually the only non-academic using these products,
thus not giving me the University support that many of you have.
If I have not phrased this properly, I will try again.
Sincerely,
Norman Sandfield
