Introduction
BooleanCUBE's Benefits
BooleanCUBE adds valuable functionality to your searches in Endeavor Voyager databases, such as the NAL Catalog (AGRICOLA). Working with BooleanCUBE, you can perform complex searches using Boolean logic, nesting, field specific searching, and optional limits including dates, language, media type, document type, and location.
Searches using BooleanCUBE generate permanent URLs that can be saved and reused at a later time. Since the URLs run dynamically, these searches will continue to provide access to any new items that match your strategy.
BooleanCUBE includes a character counter and other helpful features. Over 380 characters are allowed in each search so you can build complex Boolean strategies, while using the character counter to monitor the character limit. Buttons are available for entering search parameters and tidying your code automatically. Also, the BooleanCUBE form is set to retain your search until cleared, so toggling between search results and the search form makes adjusting strategies and database-switching easy.
Extensible to Your Voyager System
BooleanCUBE translates strategies for NAL's Endeavor Voyager OPAC system and should be compatible with other Endeavor OPACs with minor adjustments. For these purposes, see the Download section of this page.
And It's Free
BooleanCUBE is being made available for download through the National Agricultural Library, part of the Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
