So far, you've seen collections composed
of visual or audio materials. American Memory also has collections with the added feature of searching the full text of the documents. You have a choice of searching either the descriptive information or the full text of the collection in most cases. (We'll learn a few exceptions in Good News; Bad News II).
We'll search the descriptive information,
explore full text searching, and compare the results.
- Exercise 1 - Keywords
- Exercise 2 - Choosing Full-text or Descriptive Information Searching
- Exercise 3 - Chunks of Text
- Exercise 4 - Full-text Search Options
- Exercise 5 - On Your Own!

Directions:
- See Making the Most of the Workshop for tips.
- Complete the exercises, then go to the Descriptive information and full-text searching - which one when? Use your notes and comments to "Points to Ponder" to describe what you've discovered.
