| Evaluative content information in web sites:
OCLC-created URLs contained in 856/u fields in full MARC syntax and under the label "Access:" in full SUTRS syntax will allow internet-based access to evaluative content (cover art, summaries, excerpts, author information, etc.) These URLs can be cut and pasted, or programmatically entered, into any browser supported by FirstSearch in order to gain access to the information. The URLs will time out after 7 days so if continued access is desired another search to receive and updated URL will need to be executed. The 856/i field is the indicator for information on the URL; because not all 856/u fields are additional evaluative content, the 856/i should be checked to be certain the 856/u link is truly a OCLC sourced link. The 856/i field contains instructions regarding the URL. |

Indexes
What follows is a list of FirstSearch indexes and the combination of USE and STRUCTURE
attributes that can be used to access them.
- For any FirstSearch label where multiple USE attributes are listed all the attributes will provide the exact same search result sets.
- Any USE attribute that is not marked as a restrictor is available via the SCAN service.
- Restrictors are specially implemented indexes and are not available for scanning. Terms
for these must be ANDed with other terms to limit the size of the result set. See the
table provided for each restrictor to determine valid terms and their associated meaning.
FirstSearch Indexes and USE and STRUCTURE attributes used to access them. These
are grouped by the type of record retrieved.

Searching tips
Keyword All searches (1016): The Keyword All search finds information in these
fields: Abstract (520/a), Author (100/a, 700/a, 710/a, 711/acdn, 799/ai), Notes (500/a, 502/a, 504/a, 507/a, 546/a), Source (773/t), Subject (650/a, 651/a, 693/123, 694/123), Title (242/a, 245/a, 440/a, 740/a, 773/npt, 799/kt).
Using limiters: You can limit searches by Year (31), Language (54) and Holdings (56). OCLC also uses the Document Type index (1001) as a limiter. Limit to Full text (6002) is used to limit to full text from other databases. Full text availability is dependent upon your institution's access arrangements.
