N1  - Includes bibliographical references (p. 271-281) and index; Database structure for everyone : records, fields, and indexes -- Working with databases the searcher's toolkit : part 1 -- The searcher's toolkit : part 2 -- Social science databases -- Databases for science and medicine -- Bibliographic databases -- Humanities databases -- Numerical databases -- Focus on people -- Choosing the right resource for the question -- Evaluating databases -- Teaching other people about databases
N2  - To succeed as searchers, all librarians require both a basic idea of how databases are put together, and a repository of concepts and techniques to draw upon. With such essentials well in hand, the searcher can plunge into almost any database that comes along and master its intricacies (and idiosyncrasies) in relatively short order. Bell's conversational style, coupled with her Searcher's Toolbox, promises increased flexibility and adaptability. This book will prove a handy guide for librarians in every conceivable information environment and across all levels of experience. -- Book cover
