ScienceBase Catalog Training Video #2 – Searching
the Catalog

00:00:03.050 --> 00:00:04.050
Screen #1: Video title/cover fade to ScienceBase
Catalog main page

00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:06.220
In the last ScienceBase training video, we
learned how to browse through large collections

00:00:06.220 --> 00:00:08.740
of items based on certain criteria.

00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:14.080
However if we want to find records related
to a specific theme or idea very quickly,

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.120
it’s easier to search.

00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.740
Let’s try to search ScienceBase Catalog.

00:00:19.740 --> 00:00:25.319
Imagine you are a researcher and you are considering
a new project studying the Yampa River basin

00:00:25.319 --> 00:00:27.669
in northern Colorado.

00:00:27.669 --> 00:00:32.890
The first step is to discover what resources
are available concerning this subject.

00:00:32.890 --> 00:00:38.640
From the ScienceBase Catalog main page, click
in the search bar and type Yampa PH.

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.440
Screen #2: ScienceBase search results

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:47.390
When you click search or press enter, ScienceBase
Catalog returns the results of your search.

00:00:47.390 --> 00:00:51.960
The results are listed in a panel on the center
of the screen and the world map has automatically

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.040
adjusted to show the spatially located records.

00:00:55.040 --> 00:00:57.960
Let’s check out some of these results.

00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:06.330
Each result is shown as a title, an abbreviated
abstract, the item category, and the tags/topics

00:01:06.330 --> 00:01:14.470
associated with the record.

00:01:14.470 --> 00:01:19.230
If you want to see the geospatial location
of the items just hover your cursor over either

00:01:19.230 --> 00:01:22.910
the record title or the blue dots on the map.

00:01:22.910 --> 00:01:29.070
Hover your cursor over the title beginning
with “Evaluation of trends in pH…”

00:01:29.070 --> 00:01:32.200
This will highlight the relationship.

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.820
Some items do not have a location or geospatial
footprint.

00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:41.640
If you hover your mouse over the title beginning
with “Selected hydrologic data…”

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:47.060
You will notice how there is no geospatial
location assigned to this item.

00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:52.240
In this video, we learned how to search the
ScienceBase Catalog to find an item of interest,

00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:54.680
review the metadata, and navigate the search
results.

00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:55.920
Screen #3: Fade to Science Base home page
URL portrayed against a grey background

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:01.390
In the next video, we will explore how to
access records more fully and determine where

00:02:01.390 --> 00:02:04.000
all information about an item can be found.
