Title
Lists the currently selected term.
Broader Terms
Those terms under which the selected term falls in the hierarchy. For example, at the
Selected Term Details screen for the term
Diet, you see the Broader Term Nutrition. If
this term is appropriate to your search, select it and conduct an exploded search.
Narrower Terms
If present, indicate that more specific terms exist for the selected term. If there is a (+)
sign next to a narrower term, it means that the narrower term also has narrower terms
that are not displayed. If a narrower term with a (+) is a relevant term for your search,
look at its Selected Term Details to see if you want to include its narrower terms.
Each
ZR on CD record is given the most specific descriptor terms possible, which are
useful for locating entries that fall under a single broad classification. For example, if you
are interested in
Nutrition, the Selected Term Details list the narrower terms Digestion,
Diet, Photosynthesis, Energy sources, etc. By selecting each of these terms, you can find
all citations for
Nutrition. The Explode feature makes it easy to choose all narrower
terms for a selected term. See "Exploding Terms" on page 23.
Related Terms
Additional terms that may be relevant to a search, but which are not part of the broader
term-narrower term hierarchy. Rather, they share some conceptual similarity with the
