The default option in STAT!-Ref is to search all texts. To select a single text click &#8220;select none&#8221; and then click on the desired title(s).<\/li>\n<li>Searches in Stat!Ref can be conducted using six proximity operators, including:\n<ol>\n<li>Automatically selects best precision<\/li>\n<li>Search words must be in exact order<\/li>\n<li>Search words must be adjacent<\/li>\n<li>User defined proximity: Near\/X<\/li>\n<li>All search words must appear<\/li>\n<li>At least one search word must appear<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>The Library recommends searching by &#8220;user defined proximity: Near\/X.&#8221; This allows users to set how many words can separate their search terms. For example, if searching &#8220;heart attack&#8221; with a proximity of ten guarantees that these two search terms will be within ten words of each other. A proximity between ten to fifteen words is recommended. This range generally ensures that terms are in the same paragrapah and appropriate to your search.<\/li>\n<li>For your convenience Stat!Ref also provides access to Stedman&#8217;s Medical Dictionary, which is available from the top green tool bar on search pages.<\/li>\n<li>To return to the &#8220;Results&#8221; screen, click on the &#8220;Results&#8221; menu option. If you click on the back key, you will go back to the main search page, NOT back to the &#8220;Results&#8221; screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>PLEASE NOTE: It is important to log out of e-textbooks when you are finished to ensure that others will also be able to use them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Return to\u00a0E-Textbooks Searching STAT!Ref STAT!Ref\u00a0is a collection of searchable e-textbooks that cover a wide variety of topics including dentistry, pharmacology, evidence-based medicine, pediatrics, and more.
