| The Peregrine
Fund Library databases are managed in-house using the bibliographic
reference software,
ProCite. These reference are accessible through
a search engine, Reference Web Poster, which is designed to
search and export references from ProCite databases into your
own reference software. If you are using
Reference Manager,
ProCite or
EndNote, you can search The Peregrine Fund
Library and import references directly into your own reference
database or save them as text files to be imported into the
software of your choice. These
databases work best if they are searched through Internet
Explorer. Although we have attempted to provide sufficient
information in the initial search results list for citations, we
recommend viewing the full record for the complete record
information. In many cases, we are hampered by the
limitations of the Reference Web Poster to ProCite interface.
These databases are constantly evolving and we apologize for any
imperfections in advance. We welcome user comments and
suggestions. |

| Search Instructions |
|
| By default, we
have set up the search engine to allow users to take advantage
of advanced search techniques. You may find the following
instructions useful in helping you to conduct your bibliographic
searches: |
| Search Fields |
| Enter the text
you wish to search in the search field. Your search can be
targeted under five different field themes: Author;
Keywords; Periodical; Year; and
Title. In addition to these specific fields, you can
search several fields simultaneously by searching All
Indexed Fields, which includes Author, Year, Periodical, and
Keywords or you can search All Non-Indexed Fields, which
includes Title and Notes, which we use for record language.

Single term search:
Enter the term in the desired search field(s) exactly as it
appears in the database. To search for a term in both
Keywords and Title fields, you would need to enter your term
into two separate boxes and choose the corresponding field for
each box.
Multiple term
search: Any Keywords search for a multiple word
string must be entered into the search box with a dash (-)
inserted where a space would normally fall. Example: habitat
use enter as habitat-use; Falco deiroleucus
enter as Falco-deiroleucus.
|
| |
| Miscellaneous Notes:
Author names with apostrophes can be entered
into the search field without changes. Example: Il'leiv will
return results by that author
Words containing diacritic marks must have
the marks inserted into the search field using ANSI codes to
return accurate results. A list of the most common codes
has been provided.
The Global Raptor Bibliography and
Research Library do not have Keywords entered, but they will be added in the
near future so please check back. |
