Have you used the VOCEDplus expert search yet?
If not, give it a go. It allows you to build and execute complex searches of the VOCEDplus database. While using the search box does require knowledge of VOCEDplus indexed field names and an understanding of the search syntax, we have included a query builder that lets you select and add VOCEDplus indexed fields to the search box from a drop-down list.
More information on using the expert search can be found on page 6 of our easy to follow VOCEDplus user guide available on the Help page.
The VOCEDplus team can also provide customised training for groups of individuals to suit your needs. Refer to the Client Service Charter for terms and conditions. Contact us via Ask a Librarian to discuss your training requirements.
