JCE Online is pleased to announce that one of our most popular features
has been updated. The JCE Index database contains titles and names of authors for all of the articles
published in this Journal since its inception in 1924. Keywords have
been applied to articles published since mid-1995. This database can be searched
online using your WWW browser.
Added Features
The updated online JCE Index has several new options for searching.
You can now search on Year and Issue Number in addition to Titles, Authors, and
Keywords; you can search on Page number using Advanced Search. You can also search
on more than one field (for example, you could look for articles that have copper
in the title and were published in 2000). New search operators support
searching for a range of values. This is especially useful when searching the
numeric fields Year, Issue Number, and Page. For example, entering 2000…2002
in the Year field will return articles published in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Of course,
you can use this in combination with searches on other fields. To find articles
with copper in the title and published since 1992, for example, you would enter
1992… in the Year field and copper in
the Title field.
The display of successful search results is more attractive and contains links
directly to the online Abstracts and PDF full-text files. You can view a detail
page for the article by clicking its Title. A convenient Search Again link is
also provided.
Advanced Search
The Advanced Search option provides
several additional features: OR-type searches, page number searches, and more
flexible display of the results of a search.
The OR-type search can be used to find all articles written by either of two
authors or all articles that have either of two words in their titles. For example,
to find all articles whose author is Holmes, or Moore (or both), enter Holmes
Moore into the Authors field on the Advanced Search page, click the radio
button labeled or, and then click Search.
The Advanced Search option allows sorting of articles by Title, Author, or
Year and Page Number in either ascending or descending order. You can also specify
how many records will be displayed at once. For example, it is possible to find
all articles whose titles contain the word copper, sort them alphabetically by
author, and display them ten to a page.
The JCE Index database is now located on a computer separate from
the JCE Online server. This should result in better response especially
during the peak hours of JCE Online use.
Project Chemlab Annotated Laboratory Experiments
Looking for a new lab experiment? The Laboratory Search link on the JCE
Index page takes you to the Project Chemlab database, which contains annotations
for all laboratory materials published in JCE since about 1964. A laboratory-specific
set of keywords helps you find laboratory articles that meet your specialized
needs.
The JCE Index and the Project Chemlab databases function similarly. If
you learn how to use one, you can easily use the other. Happy searching!
