We have new search forms online. The data in this version has diacritics (using unicode). There may still be a few teething problems so any feedback is welcome.
Fill in the form above, then click on the "Search the AI" button.
Combinations will automatically be combined - So "zeitlyn" in Author and "soothsayer" in title will find a work by one of the anthropologists called Zeitlyn with the word soothsayer in the title. Note that searches are NOT case-sensitive
If you select the default option to "match anywhere" then truncation is automatic in the sense that it searches for what you put in - no "*" is necessary, and strings will be found wherever they occur. The pop-up list allows you to restrict searching to find either whole words only or strings at the beginnings or ends of words.
The back data contains intials only so authors should be searched for either by plain surname, or by putting initials before the surname i.e. searching for "d zeitlyn" finds works by David Zeitlyn. Note also that the early data has not been fully keyworded. New data will include first names where they are available. Note that the default setting for Authors is "Whole Word".
Browsable lists of journal titles and author names will follow.
Guidance on boolean searching is also available.
