Re: [ranchos] Re: Research Helps


 
I know on the old microfiche they list the "Serial/Sheet Number." Maybe if you took an area that didn't have batches this number would come into play as well as the Film number.

Victor,

The only thing I know about [Film Number] Field is what it says in help:

"If a record contains both a batch number and a film number, then use 
only the batch number for your search. Film number searches are valid 
only when there is no batch number."

And as far as [Serial/Sheet Number] I have only ever seen it to be 
[00].  So I don't think that is any help.

Personally, I have never used either field in my searches.

P.S.  I knew you were jk ... ;-)

Angie,

Thanks.  I was just joking!
And speaking about research tips, I don't have a clear idea what's the
purpose of the fields [Serial/Sheet Number] and [Film Number] in the
IGI search page.  Have you found any use for those?

I've tried entering data into the [Film Number] field in a similar
fashion to the [Batch Number] as some recommend field but nothing 
    
happens!
