Keyword Index Synonyms

Similar to searching by specifying entry tags, the SirsiDynix e-Library allows one or more of these entry tags to be represented with a keyword index synonym name. The search can be limited to certain fields and entries within a bibliographic record without typing several entry tags. When searching by words or phrase type the search term followed by the Keyword Index policy name. The SirsiDynix e-Library searches only the specified entries/fields represented by this abbreviated name.

Other formats use different entry tags and fields appropriate to the database you are searching. Refer to the following table for a list of the SirsiDynix e-Library equivalent search fields for keyword indexes.
