Free Text Fields Searches may be performed by typing one or more words in the appropriate field. Do NOT add an and, or, or a not. To search for products about the frog heart you would type in

There are four operators that can apply to the Free Text Fields

• Equals - This is taken to mean the words you entered are complete as opposed to
• Contains - In which you may enter only partial words

  eg searching for rat with the Equals operator will ONLY find the whole word rat. Whereas if you used the Contains operator it would also find invertebrate, laboratory etc.

• Begins with - will search for the beginings of words so searching with this operator on cardio would for example find cardiology, cardiovascular etc
• Ends with - will search for the endings of words so searching with this operator on ology would for example find cardiology, biology etc.

Scrolling List Fields You may currently only select a single item from the Category or Type fields. This will change so that multiple selections can be made as soon as our search engine allows.

English and American spelling:

We have tried to keep the spelling and use of words like foetus/fetus, oestrus/estrus and adrenaline/epinephrine as uniform as possible, to facilitate searching.
In the text descriptions of each product, we have used the English version.
In the titles, we have retained the original spelling, e.g. "fetus" when referring to American products.

If in doubt, do a search using both versions!

Constructing web links for specific searches:

It is possible to construct weblinks that will take you directly to a list of specified records, for example all Video Films on Animal Surgery.
Please contact Adrian Smith (adrian.smith@veths.no) if you need help in constructing similar links.

How good is your Internet connection?

If you are browsing the Web via a dial-up modem connection, transfer time may be slow. Try turning off the 'Auto Load Images' (under the Options menu if you are using Netscape). In addition, if transfer time is still slow, try stopping transfer and reload: you may get a faster connection. The slow transfer time is almost certainly due to heavy traffic on the Internet rather than to problems with the NORINA server.

If you are located in a country on the Pacific Rim you might also get a more rapid response by searching NORINA on the Australian Mirror Site.

The search engine and its forms are tuned for the current version of Netscape. If your browser has problems handling the search form, download the latest version of Netscape.
