13 从检索结果里使用包括（include）或排除（exclude）一个或多个关键词。
快速、高级和主题词表分网搜索 从检索结果里使用包括（include）或排除（exclude）一个或多个关键词。 点击每个关键词旁的复选框，在分网或分网间结合一个以上的关键词。 The Facets in the Quick & Expert interfaces offer greater flexibility when refining a search. The list of clusters facets includes: Databases, Author, Controlled vocabulary, Classification code, Document type, Language, year, and publisher. and an “Add term” field. Each facet displays the first 10 items that are relevant for your search. Click on more to find further information within each facet. Include / Exclude: Each term within a facet can be included or excluded from your initial search. A number of search terms can be added to the same search, i.e. combining author, year and publication or any other combination which is most appropriate to the search.

14 初始关键词和被排除的词条间会出现“-”符号。
包括和排除词条 包括词条 初始关键词和被添加的词条间会出现 “+”符号 。 排除词条 When including an author and document type the system will search for the original term AND the author AND the document type selected. In the example above we first searched for “acid”, then we included an author and a document type which resulted in a query that uses a ‘+’ sign between the initial key word and the added terms from the facets. When you exclude terms from the facets these are shown in the search path as ‘-‘ sign. 初始关键词和被排除的词条间会出现“-”符号。

29 Blog This Finally, we added Blog This! Before I talk about the feature, please allow me to give a little background on this important and hot new trend in internet use What is a blog? A ‘blog’ is a short form for weblog; a personal journal published on the Web. This is a frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links. More information on blogs can be found at Wikipedia. There are numerous blog hosts on the internet such as Blogger.com ( Blogcity ( and others. Blogging allows people to share their ideas, opinions, and in this case, research results. As more and more professors turn to web-based content, blogs are becoming increasingly important, especially on the university campus. How EV2 enables Blogging: Blog This works much the same way as the RSS feed. Simply click on the Blog This tab and copy the HTML code into your Weblog. Conclusion: Faceted browsing and searches allow users to conduct more comprehensive research and get more relevant results while RSS and Blog this! features by providing flexible alerting options. Used together, these tools will help researchers spend less time looking for the information they need and allow them to integrate their research into their other on-line activities. 点击‘Blog This’按钮，选择框内显示的内容，粘贴到您的公告栏里；一旦在公告栏中发布，其标题便会链接至“记录”摘要。
