Similar to searching by specifying entry tags, the SirsiDynix e-Library allows one or more of these entry tags to be represented with a keyword index synonym name. The search can be limited to certain fields and entries within a bibliographic record without typing several entry tags. When searching by words or phrase type the search term followed by the Keyword Index policy name. The SirsiDynix e-Library searches only the specified entries/fields represented by this abbreviated name.
Other formats use different entry tags and fields appropriate to the database you are searching. Refer to the following table for a list of the SirsiDynix e-Library equivalent search fields for keyword indexes.

For example, to find any materials with the author Charles Dickens, type Dickens {AU} in the Words or Phrase field. The SirsiDynix e-Library locates items by searching all of the MARC entry fields represented by the keyword index synonym, AU; in this example the SirsiDynix e-Library will search the 100, 110, 111, 700, 710, 711, 720 entry tags.
