SSS Journal Search Engine

This page provides access to the cumulative index of the Society's journal, Slovene Studies (1979-), and its precursor, Papers in Slovene Studies (1975-1978).

There are four kinds of information in the data base:

A Comprehensive Bibliography
An Index of Books Reviewed
An Index of Literary Translations
Abstracts of Articles

Searching the Data Base

Due to the multilingual nature of the data base and some current limitations of HTML as implemented in certain browsers, it was decided to simplify the entry of the items to be searched for.

Simply type in the search term without using any diacritics, e.g. streice, umlauts, acute and grave accents. Although this may result in certain neutralizations of distinctions (e.g., op and cop), it was felt that ease of data entry by the user would be more important. Thus, to find items containing the name Hoevar, just type "hocevar".

A splat/asterisk can be used as a wildcard character at the start of the item, e.g., *bar, in the middle, e.g., Tr*ar, or at the end, e.g., Tru*. Typing in solely the wildcard character will allow you to scroll through the whole data base.

Text to Search For:
Boolean:	Case	How Many

Options in the Search Form:

Boolean is relevant only if you request more than one word -- AND will require that all words occur in the same entry and OR will return entries which have any or all of the words. Thus, e.g., type "Rado Lencek 1979" with Boolean AND to find all items published by Rado L. Lencek in 1979; or type "Slovenian Slovene" with Boolean OR to find all occurrences of either term.
Case sensitive requires an exact match, while insensitive will permit matches with both uppercase and lowercase spellings.
How Many needs to be changed if you want more than ten records to be displayed at a time.

Simply click in the text box above and type in the text. Tap the ENTER key or click on the Search! button to activate the search.

NOTES

¹ Not all web browsers permit characters from both eastern and western European languages to be displayed in the same document. This author has decided to allow the user to choose between the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) and Latin-2 (ISO-8859-2) characters sets for all static pages and all pages created on the fly. Latin-1 contains the Italian vowels with grave accents and all of the German characters; the Slovenian characters do not exist in the character set and are rendered as transparent GIFs (which browsers unfortunately use to break lines). Latin-2, on the other hand, contains all of the standard Slovenian and German characters, but lacks the Italian vowels which also occur infrequently in Slovenian text -- these grave-accented vowels are rendered as the vowel followed by an opening single quote, which is at times acceptable in Italian. Characters from other languages, e.g., French ê, are rendered properly in the appropriate character set, and variously, e.g., e^, in the other. Go Back
