2.4 Request for Details of Publications of a Particular Author

Searching for details of the publications of a particular author is quite simple. Let us search for the publica-tions of J. P. Vernant. To do this we move the cursor in the Quick Search Menu to "Author".

body-publisher
ISBN

After Return has been presssed, the Index of Authors' Names appears. The program asks you to enter the first letters of the surname. It is enough to enter "Verna". The cursor automatically moves to the first name in the alphabetic list of authors that begins with "Verna":

[search string]

[index]
Vernant, J.P.

Verner, M.

Vernhet, A.
Vernière, Y.
Vernou, C.
Vernus, P.
Vernola, M.L.

By using left (!) SHIFT + arrow keys you may tag several Key-words. Tagged Key-words will be indicated by asterisks (*).

If we press Return the name will be taken into the program as a Search Word. In a 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:

AUTHOR   27
DELPHOI   349

Searching for Articles from a Series: If you wish to list all the volumes of a certain series, then move the cursor to the "Series" option and proceed as for Searching Under Authors.
