2.2 Searching for a Subject with Appended Key-word

This time we are looking for the complete literature on Topography of Delphoi

To do this we again select "Subject" in the Search Menu :

In the list of General Subject Headings

001* PraxInst   practice and institutions 002* Slbd   collected works 004* Pers   personalia, ... 005* MusSlg museums and collections 007* Top   topography 008* TM   technology and material 009* Anthr   anthropology 010* Kg   history of art 011* Archit architecture 012* Plast   plastic art and sculpture 015* Portr   protrait

we move the cursor to the heading "Topography" and switch by pressing Return. In the subdivision of Topography we select the heading "Countries" and in the sublevel of countries the heading "Greece". Here we move the cursor to the heading "Sites" and switch by pressing Return to the following lower level:

010 Geb regions [ ] 025 * Orte   sites [ ]

Here we move the cursor using the arrow key to "Sites [ ]".

As a rule, the modern place names have been chosen in the orthography of the country or in an equivalent transcription. Only if these are un-usual or if no modern place name has replaced the ancient name has the ancient name been included.

We end the selection of our Subject by pressing SHIFT + RETURN. In a separate window ("search string") we will now be asked to give the place name. It is sufficient here to give the first letters (always use capitals for the first letter!) and the pro-gram jumps automatically onto the equivalent position. Using the arrow keys you may correct the position.

Start the search by pressing RETURN. The program will ask you again in a small window which name you want the expected result to be saved under. The name can be up to eight characters long and should be for-mulated to avoid any misunderstanding. In our case it would make sense to enter "sitedelp".
We end entry of the Result Name by pressing Return. In another small display window the data-set numbers of the references found will now be displayed in rapid succession.
The program then displays the result in the narrow righthand window:
