Ways to use the annual volumes of L'Anneé Philologique:

• browsing in the sections for A.Ph. rubrics (a classed arrangement)
• finding entries from the indices for geographic terms and ancient and modern authors

Additional features of the database:

• 16-year cumulation of all entries for these years
• eighteen rather than four indices
• indices include Thesaurus Linguae Graecae genres, geographic regions, centuries
• Boolean searching (AND, OR, NOT) for terms, and for result sets
• cross-referencing to A.Ph. entry numbers, and to words in any other indices
• searching of three Greek character sets as well as Roman alphabet (in Entry or Search Windows)
• printing and downloading of result sets

Display Windows, Ways to search the DCB:

• Entry Window (comes up automatically when you start the DCB) is a list of all the entries available in seventeen of the indices; use it:
  
  • to find out what literature exists under a known heading (e.g. authors, titles)
    
  • to learn about available headings (e.g rubrics, topics, genres)
    
  • to go directly to the citations under these headings
    
  • type headings found here in the Search Window; or copy them there with ctrl C; close Entry Window; then ctrl V
  • in the corresponding index field in the Search Window
• Main Window (appears when you close the Entryor Search Windows) use toolbar or tools window to switch to other windows
  
• Search Window (switch to it from Main Window) is where you call up boxes to supply your own search strategies:
  • copy terms from Entry Window to the corresponding index field
  • type in keywords for Full Text index (supply truncation or WildCard: * for any number of characters, ? for a specific unknown character)
  • search multiple fields simultaneously (AND between them is understood)
  • supply Boolean operators between terms within a field
  • limit TLG genre, geographic searches by century (NB: remember to remove it!)
  • Execute Search, Save, and Show Results commands
• Save Window (available only from Search Window): designate a filename (*.qrs extension) for a result set that hasn't yet been viewed
• Query Factory (available from Search, Save Windows):
  combine sets previously saved as *.qrs files, using Boolean operators
• Results Window: (available from Entry and Search Windows and from Query Factory)
  • display results of a set you have selected
  • initiate cross-reference to an A.Ph. entry number or a word in any index
  • print out individual records
  • download search result sets in a variety of formats
