  • Exact Corporate Author (XCA)
  • Series (SE)
  • Exact series (XSE)

  • Age group (AGE) (This used to be done as an exact subject.)

New Command in the web: Browse — May be used with exact or keyword thesaurus terms.

New Options: The Form BOOK is no longer a limit. It will be directly searchable.  This will allow bibliographers to create an Update search on the Form Book.  The Update result will be a list of the newly added books.
