Guidelines for Entering Address Terms

Be aware that many address terms and their abbreviations are non-English.

• Inst. fur Elektron., Graz, Austria

• Electron. Eng. Lab., Kent Univ., Canterbury, UK

• Lab. de Cristallogr., CNRS, Grenoble, France

• Electron Crystallogr. Lab., Hauptman-Woodward Inst., Buffalo, NY, USA

Use wildcards to find variants of terms. For example, Penn* State Univ* matches Penn State Univ., Pennsylvania State Univ., and Pennsylvania State University.

Join multiple words or phrases with the search operators AND, OR, or NOT. For example:

• Astron AND Sheffield finds records where Astron and Sheffield are in the same address (that is, Dept. of Phys. & Astron., Univ. of Sheffield, UK).

• Harvard OR Yale finds records where either Harvard or Yale is in the Address field.

• Kings NOT UK finds records where Kings is in the Address field but UK is not.

Search Tips

• To search on an address that contains a Boolean (AND, OR, NOT, and SAME), enclose the name in quotation marks. Example: Portland "OR"

• Inspec abbreviates many address terms. Note that you need not include the period after an abbreviation in your search. Address Abbreviations
