For example, let’s say that we heard that the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality or AHRQ conducted a comparative effectiveness review on treatments for Alzheimer’s-type dementia and we want to find it on the Bookshelf.
We can use the Search Builder to construct our search.
We know we want a work by AHRQ so we can use the field selection box to select Publisher.
Start typing the word or phrase into the entry box, in this case, Agency for Healthcare…
Then click Show index list to display the terms that are in Bookshelf within that field.
The number in parentheses after the term is the number of records that include this term in the Bookshelf.
We’ll click Agency for healthcare research and quality to add this to our search.
Now let’s add Alzheimer’s as a word in the title.
In the second row of the search builder, select Title from the field selection box.
Note that each search component is added with an AND unless you choose otherwise.
