DHNet Knowledgebase indexers work with a controlled vocabulary of keywords in order to describe the materials in the knowledgebase. This list of the vocabulary is arranged in categories of information, and is intended to assist users of the Knowledgebase to perform the most effective searches possible.
To use the keywords option when you search the Knowledgebase, go to the search page of the Knowledgebase. Use the pulldown menu in the "Fields to Search" box to highlight "Keywords." Then type one of the keywords from this page in the "Data to Locate" box.
The DHNet Knowledgebase search engine also supports simple free-text searching, if an appropriate keyword, author's name, or journal name is not available. Use the option to search "All Non-Indexed Fields" to search in the abstract, notes, titles, and special fields.
