Browsing and Searching
JCE CD provides several ways to obtain the information you want. If you remember an article and the issue in which it appeared (or what the cover of the issue looked like), a click on the Welcome page will take you to the table of contents of the issue. The title of each article in the table of contents is a link to the article. Each article includes an abstract, keywords, and links to any supplemental material that may accompany the article, as well as the article itself.
You can also search the contents of the CD using Adobe Reader (included on the CD). You can search the text of all articles for any word, partial word, or phrase. You can also search titles, authors, and keywords. A successful search produces a list of links to the articles that satisfy your criteria. The text for which you searched will be highlighted in each article found by the search.
You will find that many references to JCE articles in the Literature Cited section at the end of each article are linked to the article cited. If the cited article is not on the CD and you have an Internet connection, the linked reference will take you to the article at JCE Online. Cited URLs that appear in articles are also linked directly to Web sites.
