Introduction. STABIB (click to search the file) is stored in ProCite5 bibliographic software, and can be searched in ProCite if the user is in the Archbold computer domain, but Web searching of STABIB is through Reference Web Poster. Both of these programs are distributed by Research Information Systems, Carlsbad, California.

Reference Web Poster (RWP). RWP's first STABIB  (click to search the file) screen brings you to "Advanced Search" for references, and this toggles with "Quick Search" for references. Both screens have a useful "?Help" button. The remainder of this Web page is an enhancement of the RWP Help page.

Quick Search allows you to locate references by searching the indexed fields: Author, Keyword, Periodical, or Publication Date. But, Quick Search is quirky, even if it is not case sensitive. Search on "johnson" (an author) and you get 14 references, but search on "johnson, a.f." and you get nothing, although there are 8 references by Ann F. Johnson among the 14.

Advanced Search. To perform a search in fields such as title or abstract (non-indexed fields), or to perform a combination search of terms located in both indexed and non-indexed fields, you must use the Advanced Search feature. Remember to select the field that matches your search term. Advanced Search is also not case sensitive.

With Advanced Search you can search non-indexed fields, which include publisher and place, for "Cornell" or "Gainesville," or for terms like "Master's thesis" or "Ph.D. dissertation," and ferret out a Master's thesis for which you forgot the author's name.

Finding Florida Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) citations. Since 1995, the American Ornithologists' Union has recognized the Florida Scrub-Jay as a species; formerly it was a subspecies of the Scrub Jay (A. c. coerulescens). To easily find citations in STABIB about this taxon, use Advanced Search:  keywords = florida scrub-jay (all citations about FSJ have the FSJ keyword), OR titles = jay and titles = scrub.
