CJN is available to all NUS staff and students anywhere in the campus. For instructions on remote access via NUSNET Dialup please check http://www.dialup.nus.edu.sg.

At CJN Home page, select the database you want:

• (full-text database)

• (bibliographic database)

• (abstracts database)

At the login screen click on (Confirm). To view the full text you are required to download the CAJ Viewer. If you are using Netscape browser you need to also download the CAJ Plug-in. These two programs are available for download at the CJN Home page. To install these two programs you would need WinZip. Use Windows Shopping on NUSNET to buy WinZip, which is listed under Utilities.

At the next screen, you must choose one of the three series to search. Only one series from one database can be searched at a time. When using the bibliographic database, besides the 3 series that the Library has, you are able to search the other six series in CJN.

There are two search interfaces in the CJN databases: (basic search) and (combined search). You are able to limit your search to a single year or up to a maximum range of 3 years. You can also instruct the system to search the entire series or limit yourself to specific subjects within the series. In the bibliographic database, you are even able to go down to the issue level to view the contents of a specific issue of a journal.

Basic Search

This is the default search interface after you have selected the series to search. In the basic search interface (left-hand frame) select the field you want to search, e.g. full text, title, abstracts, author, keyword, organization, cited reference, and input the search term in the box provided. The search results are displayed in the upper right-hand frame. Click on the title you are interested in to view the bibliographic information (lower right-hand frame).

At the bibliographic display you can click on the author name or the journal name to search for all articles written by this author or all articles published in this journal. If you are in the full text database, click the document number to access the full text article in a new window. In the new full text window, click on (Download to View) to view the full text article.

If you have retrieved too many titles you can use the filter to refine the search results. At the end of the title listing, select the field that you wish to use. Input the search term and click (Second Search).

Combined Search

The Combined Search interface allows you to search across different fields at the same time by entering search terms in more than one field. Select the Boolean operators AND or OR to use between the fields. By default, AND is used to combine the search terms.

Downloading

Full text articles can be downloaded or printed. The CAJ Viewer is required to read to read the downloaded file. Bibliographic citations can be printed or downloaded individually using the browser's print and save icons.
