WilsonWeb, the HW Wilson Information Retrieval System for the Internet, is a comprehensive search tool that simplifies access to information stored in databases. You can enter searches as single terms, phrases, natural language queries, or complex Boolean search strings, then display the retrieved records, and print, save, or email the results. You can browse lists of terms and use the Thesaurus to search for concepts. In addition, you can customize the display of results and refine your search by combining or extending searches.

The WilsonWeb interface consists of a series of related screens that make sophisticated searching easy. The six main screens are:

  • Advanced Search
  • Basic Search
  • Browse
  • Search History
  • Thesaurus 
  • Print Email Save

You can access Library Literture Full Text  from anywhere with a valid APSU ID.

Using Wilson Web

Advanced Search

Type in your search term(s) and click the Start button. By default, all fields are searched and are sorted by relevance. You can change the sort order and the fields that are searched by clicking the "Sort by:" or the "As:" dropdown menus. Search results can be limited by date, document type, and physical description. You can also restrict your results to refereed/scholarly publications by clicking the "Peer Reviewed" checkbox, and limit results full-text by clicking either or both the html "Full Text" or pdf "Page Image" checkboxes.

Displaying Results

Search results can be viewed in either a Brief or Full display. The results screen lists all the results of your search. The search query is included at the top of the screen, along with a summary of the total number of records and the database(s) searched. The Brief display is a list sorted by relevance and provides the short form of each citation. The Full display is labeled and displays additional information. Switch between displays by clicking the "Brief" or "Full" buttons on the bottom of the results screen. You can select which records to print, email, or save by marking the checkbox next to the records. 

Printing, Emailing, Saving Results

Search results can be printed, emailed, or saved to disk. Click the "Print Email Save" button. The "Print Email Save" windows opens and the header displays the current search, the number of records retrieved, the number of marked records selected, the names of the databases searched, the defaults fields for output, and the sort order. Each of the three options, Print, Email, and Save, allows you to output the marked records or output up to a maximum of 100 records, change the default "Brief Display" to either "Full/Custom citation display", or "All", which includes full text and images, if available. Search results can also include your search history, highlighted search words, and record numbers. 

Printing Results: Click "Print Options". Select the number of records you want to print, the field, and other options you want to include. Clicking the "Estimate" button will tell you approximately how many pages will be printed. Clicking the "Print" button reformats the selected records in a printer friendly format. Then click the Print button to print the selected records.

 Emailing Results: Click "Email Options". Enter your email address and a subject and your format preference. Then click the "Email" button.

Saving Results: Click "Save Options". Select  your format preference and click the "Save" button. A file of the chosen format will be sent to your browser. Depending on the chosen format and your browser settings, your browser will either display the file or ask you whether you want to 'open' the file or save it. Choose save if given the option and then choose a name and location for the file on your disk. Otherwise, use the 'File, Save As' function of your browser menu.

Logging Out

Click the "Exit Program" button at the top right of WilsonWeb window to end your session and either click your browser's "Home" button or close your browser.
