5.A.1.13. Any Search -- Keyword with Right Truncation
Uses: Searches for complete word beginning with the specified character string in fields that are commonly used as access points (as defined by the server). Any searches comprising more than one keyword are interpreted in such a way that the terms may exist in the same or different attributes.
Example: a search on "Dick AND Twi" might conceivably find "Dickens" in the Author Use Attribute (1003) and "Twist" in the Title Use Attribute (4).

5.A.1.15. Date of Publication Search
Uses: Searches for the year in which a resource is published.
The Date of Publication Use attribute must be used as a search limiter in conjunction with another operand (i.e., used to limit a search using other Use attribute values). Z-servers may reject a query that only includes the Date of Publication Use attribute.

5.A.1.SCAN. Functional Area A: Level 1 Use of SCAN
The Z39.50 SCAN Service is an effective mechanism for identifying appropriate search terms to be submitted in a query to a single database or server. It is required at Functional Area A: Level 1 Bibliographic Search and Retrieval.
The following requirements apply for SCAN:
-
Z-clients must support Term and DisplayTerm, and display DisplayTerm if sent.
-
If DisplayTerm is not sent, Term must be displayed.
-
Required values for parameter preferredPositionInResponse are 0 and 1.
Stepsize is 0.
Three SCANs are defined:
-
Author -- Exact Match
-
Title -- Exact Match
-
Subject -- Exact Match
Unlike the other searches specified in this Profile, it is not necessary to specify the Relation, Completeness and Truncation attributes of a SCAN.
Guidance in using terms found from a SCAN in a subsequent search can be found at the Maintenance Agency site as a Related Specification/Contribution (see http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/contributions/2.html).
