      <title>Controlled Search Term Vocabularies for Finding Articles Relevant to Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1118468</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The National Library of Medicine’s PubMed/MEDLINE and the American Psychological Association’s PsycINFO are two of the most widely-use bibliographic databases in the medical field.  This paper assesses the usefulness of the controlled vocabularies of these two databases for finding articles on injury prevention and safety promotion (IPSP) topics.  Specific indexing problems that can contribute to incomplete retrieval are identified.  For the study, experienced reference librarians provided search strategies for finding articles in the two bibliographic databases relevant to five topics pertaining to the injury prevention field. The topics included alcohol-impaired driving, bicycle-related brain injury, road rage, residence fire injuries and adolescent suicide. The results of implementing these search strategies were compared with the results of serial textword searches on the same topics. The index terms assigned to the articles that were missed by the librarians’ strategies were examined.  Results showed the queries using the strategies constructed by the librarians missed 9-63% of what was found using textword searches of the databases.  Indexing problems that may have contributed to this discrepancy included a controlled vocabulary that did not contain needed terms, unclear guidelines for assigning index terms from the thesaurus, or indexers that were not following the guidelines.  These findings indicate that irregular or incomplete indexing in the PubMed/MEDLINE and PsycInfo databases can limit the comprehensiveness of results of literature searches on IPSP topics.]]></description>

      <title>Australian Transport Index Thesaurus</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1082779</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This Thesaurus is designed to assist Australian librarians and researchers to access Australian and overseas literature on transport and roads. Preferred terms have largely been chosen to reflect Australian usage. Terms from the thesaurus are used when indexing the ‘Australian Transport Index’ (ATRI) database. This edition of the thesaurus is a revision of the 2004 ‘Thesaurus for the Australian Transport Index’ published by ARRB Group Ltd (ISBN 1-876592-37-0). As the origins of the Australian Transport Index were as a database of information on roads only, you will find that the Thesaurus has a concentration of terms relating to road-based transport issues. The addition of broader transport research terms and relationships over recent editions however, has greatly increased its coverage of non-road transport modes. In this 2007 edition, terms have been added and revised to address new sector developments and we thank NIS Members and other ATRI users for their feedback, which has been of great assistance to the continued relevance of this Thesaurus. As the Thesaurus is reviewed on a regular basis, comments, questions and suggestions are always welcome.]]></description>

      <title>A COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF STRUCTURED AND FREE TEXT SEARCHING OF THE NHTSA DATA BASE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/24142</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A comparative evaluation of two computerized retrieval systems is given. The two systems operate on the same document collection, but one uses conventional thesaurus search terms for indexing and access to the collection in a batch mode, while the other is an interactive system that provides direct access to document abstracts to a set of user queries, and scoring the output according to a retrieval effectiveness measure. The results show that there is no significant difference between the retrieval effectiveness of the two systems. Secondary evaluation criteria dealing with human factors and systems aspect are also discussed. The analysis shows that the interactive system has considerable advantages over the batch mode system, especially in regard to user human factors.]]></description>
