Author/Editor
The Author/Editor field is a free-text search field and includes a browsable index.

The Author/Editor field lists the authors and editors of cited journal articles, dissertations, books, and book and media reviews (in America: History and Life).

To locate works by a particular individual or institution use a free-text search in the Author/Editor field. Enter personal name and surname, omitting middle initial(s), middle name(s), and punctuation, then select SEARCH.

EXAMPLE: John Williams
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with authors that have both John AND Williams in their names, including works by John Williams or John M. Williams as well as works with coauthors John Breen and Mark Williams. Transposing surname and personal name will produce the same results.

Enter surname and personal name bound in quotes to retrieve entries authored or edited by individuals with the surname Williams and personal name John, with or without a middle name or initial.

EXAMPLE: "Williams John"
RESULTS: Retrieves entries authored or edited by John Williams, John M. Williams, or John Hoyt Williams.

The Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT can be used; AND is the default operator.

EXAMPLE: Finegold OR Skocpol
RESULTS: Retrieves entries citing works authored by Kenneth Finegold OR Theda Skocpol.

EXAMPLE: Skocpol AND NOT Finegold
RESULTS: Retrieves entries citing Theda Skocpol as author, excluding works coauthored by Kenneth Finegold.

If the exact spelling of the author's name is unknown or the name under which an individual publishes often varies, wildcards (*) or (?) can be used. Insert an asterisk (*) for an indeterminate number of unknown characters or insert a question mark (?) for each unknown letter.

EXAMPLE: John* William*
RESULTS: Retrieves entries citing works authored by John M. Williams, William John Wilson, William Johnson, and John W. Williamson, works coauthored by John Breen and Mark Williams as well as those authored by William Empson and edited by John Haffenden.

Journal Name
The Journal Name field is a free-text search field and includes a browsable index.

There are over 1,800 scholarly journals cited in the America: History and Life and Historical Abstracts databases. Searching this field retrieves article entries only.

The Journal Name field permits a free-text search to assist in locating journals published within a particular field of study. Entering a subject-specific word or phrase will retrieve all entries in which the word or phrase appears in the journal title.

EXAMPLE: french
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with French in the journal title, including Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the French Colonial Historical Society, Nineteenth-Century French Studies, and Contemporary French Civilization.

The Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT can be used; AND is the default operator.

EXAMPLE: virginia hist*
RESULTS: Retrieves entries citing journals with Virginia AND History or Historical in the title, including Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, West Virginia History, and Journal of the West Virginia Historical Association.

EXAMPLE: french OR francais*
RESULTS: Retrieves entries citing journals with French OR Francais in the title, including French Historical Studies, Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Western Society for French History, Etudes Françaises, Annales Historiques de la Révolution Française, and Revue d'Histoire de l'Amérique Française.

To augment a title search, wildcards (*) or (?) can be used. Insert an asterisk (*) for an indeterminate number of unknown characters or insert a question mark (?) for each unknown letter.

EXAMPLE: revolution*
RESULTS: Retrieves entries citing journals with revolution in the title, including Consortium on Revolutionary Europe 1750-1850: Proceedings, Annales Historiques de la Révolution Française, Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine, Revolutionary Russia, and Bulletin d'Histoire de la Révolution Française.

EXAMPLE: Inter*

Highlight the text in the box at the top, enter the first word(s) or the first few characters of the journal title, then select the Find Term button or press Enter. To page up or down, use the textual link at the top and bottom of the list of titles displayed. Select a title by checking the box next to it, then selecting the Paste Terms button.

The number in parentheses after each title is the number of times the title occurs in exactly that form in the database. Check the boxes of all name variations to retrieve a complete list of entries.

(top of page)


Keyword
The Keyword field permits a free-text search of terms in the abstract text, the title (as well as its translation), subject terms, documentation, and author. Enter a word or phrase to retrieve all the entries in which that word or phrase occurs in any of those fields.

EXAMPLE: christina rossetti
RESULTS: Retrieves all the entries in which both christina AND rossetti appear, whether in author, title, abstract text, or subject terms.

Care should be taken in selecting terms to search on. A search for the words new, economic, and policy, for instance, will return a great many entries in which these words appear together more or less accidentally.

A distinctive phrase may, however, be enclosed in quotation marks to retrieve only the words in that phrase appearing contiguously in that order. For common terms such as Civil War it is recommended that quotation marks not be used.

EXAMPLE: "new economic policy"
RESULTS: Retrieves all those entries in which the phrase New Economic Policy appears in title, abstract text, or subject terms. The search is not case sensitve, and entries for articles about a generic new economic policy would also be retrieved.

The Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT can be used; AND is the default operator.

EXAMPLE: "new economic policy" OR nep
RESULTS: Retrieves additional entries in which the New Economic Policy appears as an acronym.

Keyword searches may also be combined with searches on other fields.

EXAMPLE:
Keyword: "new economic policy"
Subject Term: USSR
RESULTS: Retrieves entries in which the term New Economic Policy (or new economic policy) appears referring to the USSR. Entries in which that term refers to other countries are excluded.

If the exact spelling of a term is uncertain, wildcards (*) or (?) can be used. Insert an asterisk (*) for an indeterminate number of unknown characters or insert a question mark (?) for each unknown letter.

EXAMPLE: econom* polic*
RESULTS: Retrieves a very large number of entries—all those that include both some variant of econom (including not only economic and economies but economika, economides, and economica-social) AND a variant of polic (including not only policies but police and policeywissenschaft).

EXAMPLE: e?onom*
RESULTS: In addition to entries retrieved by entering econom*, retrieves entries in which variants like ekonomikos and ekonomsku appear.

Language
The Language field is a free-text search field and includes a browsable index.

It is recommended that this field be searched only in conjunction with other fields.

The Language field contains the language of the original article, book, or dissertation. Leaving this field blank may retrieve results that include citations to sources written in languages other than English. All abstracts in the ABC-CLIO databases are written in English. Writings in over 40 languages are cited in America: History and Life; writings in over 50 languages are cited in Historical Abstracts.

The Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT can be used; AND is the default operator.

EXAMPLE: english
RESULTS: Retrieves entries citing English-language sources only.

EXAMPLE: english OR french
RESULTS: Retrieves entries citing sources written in English OR French.

EXAMPLE: NOT french
RESULTS: Retrieves entries citing sources written in all languages but French.

The wildcard symbol (*) can be used instead of typing the entire word.

EXAMPLE: ser*

(top of page)


Subject Terms
The Subject Terms field is a free-text search field and includes a browsable index.

Several subject terms are assigned to each entry by the ABC-CLIO editors. These terms reflect the main subjects of the scholarship being cited; editors attempt to apply uniform terminology to the bibliographic entries. In many cases they apply terminology not specifically used in a title or abstract.

EXAMPLE: "land reform"
RESULTS: Retrieves entries in which such words or subject terms as agrarian reform, land redistribution, collectivization, collectivized agriculture, confiscation, or property rights appear.

Subject terms may be entered with or without quotation marks. Quotes are useful for searching for two or more words bound together in a Subject Terms search. For common terms such as Civil War, it is recommended that quotes not be used.

EXAMPLE: "military government"
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with the subject term Military Government and other entries with subject terms in which the words military government appear contiguously in that order, as in Office of Military Government, United States.

Searching on an unbound phrase will often retrieve unwanted entries.

EXAMPLE: military government
RESULTS: Retrieves the same entries as in the preceding example, as well as entries that include the subject terms Civil-Military Relations and Government Regulation or the terms Conscription, Military and Colonial Government.

Be aware that some single-word searches will retrieve large numbers of entries.

EXAMPLE: military
RESULTS: Retrieves all entries with the subject term Military, as well as entries with such terms as Military Campaigns, Military Government, Military Education, Airplanes, Military, and Civil-Military Relations.

Some subject terms, especially geographical terms and personal names, have multiple components and are inverted. For geographical terms, first enter the larger component (e.g., country, continent, or, when using America: History and Life and searching for a location in the United States or Canada, a state or province). Follow this with the more specific geographical name, such as a city.

EXAMPLE: "france paris"
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with such subject terms as France (Paris), and France (Paris; Montmartre).

EXAMPLE: "illinois chicago"
RESULTS: For Historical Abstracts retrieves entries with the subject terms USA (Illinois; Chicago), and for America: History and Life) retrieves Illinois (Chicago), Illinois (Chicago area), and Illinois (Chicago; North Shore).

Personal names in the Subject Terms field should be entered surname first.

EXAMPLE: "nkrumah kwame"
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with the subject terms Nkrumah, Kwame and Nkrumah, Kwame (Consciencism).

EXAMPLE: "lu xun"
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with the subject terms Lu Xun and Lu Xun (Brief History of Chinese Fiction).

EXAMPLE: "harrison william"
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with the subject terms Harrison, William Henry and Harrison, William Byrd.

EXAMPLE: "harrison william henry"
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with the subject term Harrison, William Henry but not those with Harrison, William Byrd.

The Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT can be used; AND is the default operator. Two terms entered in this field without quotes will only retrieve entries in which each word entered occurs in a subject term.

EXAMPLE: roosevelt stalin
RESULTS: Retrieves entries in which the subject terms Roosevelt, Franklin D. AND Stalin, Joseph both occur.

Wildcards (*) or (?) can be used in searching the Subject Terms field. The symbol (*) can be used to retrieve entries with multiple subject terms spelled similarly, while the symbol (?) can be used when uncertain of the spelling of a word or name.

EXAMPLE: communis*
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with the subject terms Communism, Communist Party, and Communist Countries and related terms.

EXAMPLE: r?mania
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with the subject term Romania which is sometimes spelled Rumania.

The Subject Terms field is browsable. The browse function is useful for selecting a precise subject term or for avoiding some lengthy searches for subject terms that occur frequently in the ABC-CLIO databases, such as World War II, Great Britain, or Civil War.

To abort a lengthy Subject Terms search, select the Stop button on the web browser. If the Search Progress window is open, first select the Stop button on the browser, and then close the Search Progress window. Select the browser's Back button to return to the Search Screen.

To browse the Subject Terms index, select the button at the end of the Subject Terms field. Enter the first few characters of a term, then select the Find Term button or press Enter. A list of Subject Terms beginning with the specified characters will appear. To page up or down, use the textual link at the top and bottom of the list of terms displayed. Select a term by checking the box next to it, then selecting the Paste Terms button. In many cases it is appropriate to check the boxes for multiple terms including terms that sort in different parts of the alphabet.

The number in parentheses after each subject term is the number of times the term occurs in exactly that form in the database. If a term occurs only a few times, there may be other entries on similar subjects that use a different, related term.

The browse feature is useful for entering terms precisely as they appear in the ABC-CLIO databases. This can eliminate unwanted results and can help the user find the appropriate term when there are multiple possibilities.

EXAMPLE: Type science in the box; paste in the term Science.
RESULTS: Retrieves only the subject term Science. Entries with such terms as Religion and Science, Nuclear Science and Technology, and Political Science are not retrieved.

EXAMPLE: Type adams j in the box; paste in Adams, John.
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with the subject term Adams, John, but not those with the term Adams, John Quincy.

EXAMPLE: Type comme in the box; paste in Commerce.
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with the subject term Commerce, but not those with the terms Chambers of Commerce, Council of Commerce, or Interstate Commerce Commission.

EXAMPLE: Type q in the box; paste in Qadhafi, Muammar.
RESULTS: Avoids trial and error method of determining which of the many spelling variants of this name is used in the ABC-CLIO databases.

Time Period
Time Period is a good way to narrow your search to a particular century or decade. Although the search results may show a date or range of dates (such as 1941-45), you define a search by hundreds and decades. Enter one or more round-number dates, each followed by either H (for hundreds [centuries]) or D (for decades). Do not enter dates that are not decades or centuries (for example, do not enter 1912D or 1804H). Documents covering more than five decades are indexed by century and not individual decades. Documents covering more than six centuries are not indexed—leave the Time Period blank to include these.

EXAMPLE: 1800H OR 1900H
RESULTS: Entries dealing with the eighteen or nineteen hundreds (1800-1999).

EXAMPLE: 1820D 1830D 1840D
RESULTS: Entries dealing with the 1820's, 1830's, and 1840's (1820-1849).

EXAMPLE: 1890D 1900H
RESULTS: Entries dealing with the 1890's and the 20th century (1890-1999).

EXAMPLE: BC800H
RESULTS: Entries dealing with the 9th century BC (801 BC-900 BC).

EXAMPLE: BC*
RESULTS: All BC entries.

Title/Translation
Use the Title/Translation field to search the title or English-language translation of a foreign-language title of a journal article, book, or dissertation. Title/Translation searching is useful if a partial title of an article, dissertation, or book is known. The field can be used to do a free-text search for a specific word in a title or to search for an exact title. It is often best to search for distinctive words rather than common words in the title or title translation.

Wildcards (*) or (?) can be used when uncertain of the exact spelling of a word. Insert an asterisk (*) for an indeterminate number of unknown characters or insert a question mark (?) for each unknown letter. Using wildcards may result in long searches with inappropriate results.

EXAMPLE: land*
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with landfill, landing, or lands in the title.

EXAMPLE: l?nd
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with land or lend in the title.

Use quotation marks to bind two or more words to be searched in combination. It is not recommended that common terms such as Civil War be bound in quotes.

EXAMPLE: "land reform"
RESULTS: Retrieves entries with the phrase land reform in the title.
