Searches for names in the following fields within a record: Author(s) and Corporate Author(s).

See also Guidelines for Searching Names.

Searches for broad descriptors in the following fields within a record.

Descriptors

Broad Descriptors

Organisms Descriptors

Geographic Location

Remember that Broad Descriptors are automatically assigned to records indexed with Organism Descriptors and Geographic Location descriptors. Therefore, the descriptor insects is automatically assigned to records that have been indexed with any of the thousands of names for insect species found in the CAB Thesaurus.

For example, if you enter BD=insects, your search is very broad and every record that is indexed with the term insects will have the term insects in the Broad Descriptors field (for example, edible insects predatory insects, social insects, and so on).

Searches for codes in the CABICODES field within a record. The search finds classification codes that indicate the broad subject areas addressed by the source document. Every record in CABI has at least one CABICODE.

Searches the ISSN field within a record.

The ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) searches for periodical publications such as journals and electronic publications. If a journal has both a print ISSN and an electronic ISSN, then both display in the Full Record. The format is four numbers, a hyphen (-), three numbers, and then a check character that may be a number or X.

Searches the ISBN field within a record.

The ISBN (International Standard Book Number) searches for books. It is a unique machine-readable identifier that marks a book unmistakably. The format is a 10-digit number that contains 3 hyphens (-). The last digit is a check character, which may be a number or an X. The position of the hyphens can vary for each ISBN identifier.

Searches the Accession Number field within a record. The accession number is a unique identifying number associated with each record in the product. It consists of a product identification code, a product year, and an item number.

Searches the Source Published field within a record. You must combine this field tag with another field tag using the AND or NOT Boolean operator.

Example: TS=cell growth AND PY=2007

When entering a range of years, restrict your search to five years or less; otherwise, processing slows down and the product returns too many unproductive results.

Example: TS=cell growth AND PY=(2008-2010)
