Searching inexpensively in Zoological Record online Peter Brueggeman UCSD Scripps Institution of Oceanography Library Subscribers to printed sections of Zoological Record can use the online Zoological Record database as a quick and low-cost index to their printed volumes dating back to 1978 (the years available online). The online database can be used as an easy full-text index to the print volumes without paying online citation charges. On some databanks, sufficient information can be displayed online with no accompanying citation charges so that a user can quickly locate relevant citations in specific Zoo Record print volumes. The key is whether a databank assesses a citation charge for these Zoo Record fields: author, title, Zoo Record volume number, and Zoo Record section number. BRS does not while Dialog does. To use this stratagem, execute a search and download only the fields noted above. The user can scan retrieved titles to narrow down to those citations of interest. Then, using the Zoo Record volume and section numbers for guidance, the user looks up the first-listed author's name in the author index of the corresponding print volume and section of Zoo Record. Since the online version is more up-to-date than the print volumes, citation charges cannot be avoided for the most recent citations which are only available online. If citation charges are to be completely avoided, then the search can be limited to volumes in print. From BRS, some sample records follow. These records give enough information for locating citations in print volumes of Zoo Record while incurring only connect time. AN 0840075. 8905. AU KUN-M-S.
