Notes for the subject phrase indexes (cf=, de=, na=, su=)
Each portion of the subject heading (e.g., subheading in 650/a,x,y,z) will be handled
as a distinct phrase search. The suggested strategy in searching for records that
contain those subheadings is to and those terms together.
Example: 650 #a Nuclear Power Plants #x Safety Measures is
searched by entering:
nuclear power plants and safety measures.

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.
