In this, the second installment of Whore-R Stories, I'm going to examine the other side of the equation: The Slut. What better place to test the slut-whore-equation theory than in the Belorussian town of Slutsk. I nit you shot, folks. There really is such a town, located about 100 kilometers southwest of Minsk. Ever since my first and only visit to Belarus over five years ago, the land of Europe's last dictator has always held a special place in my heart (and other organs). Minsk, after all, is where I first discovered the White God Factor. But a provincial town with a name like Slutsk must have something much more than a White God factor - say, a Big Bang God Factor ... As a professional investigative journalist and veteran explorer of the FSU's hinterlands, I knew that fate, as well as desperation, would draw me to Slutsk and, like Stanley in the Congo, I'd report the exotic findings back to my readers. Only instead of bringing back shrunken heads, I hoped to bring back carefully preserved samples of chlamydia, smuggled on my person. The two-and-a-half hour bus ride from Minsk to Slutsk cost two dollars. On the outskirts of town there is a familiar cluster of 8 and 16-story paneli, Brezhnev-era housing projects, dirty white with blue or purple stripes straight down the elevator shaft. In the center of town the structures are smaller, a mix of pre-Revolutionary two- and three-story houses painted yellow, green and pink, side by side with Soviet concrete boxes. Slutsk is run by a Saiko. Literally. The head of the Slutsk city council, with its cookie-cutter Lenin statue out front, is named Saiko. Slutsk has one hotel, aptly named "Hotel Slutsk," on the main street, Ulitsa Lenina. There was fresh blue paint in the lobby. The elevator didn't work. I was given a room on the fourth floor. A single for $33, not exactly cheap. After wandering around town freezing my ass off for most of the afternoon while trying to get noticed, I took a rest in my hotel room then headed back out. It wasn't looking good. The two top restaurants were butt empty. I found a cafe that looked promising, slut-wise. Standing outside the entrance were two women - not girls, but women - bundled in cheap fur coats and hats. They smiled as I passed, and I said hello with a pronounced foreign accent. The cafe had only two patrons. One man was slumped in his chair; his friend scowled at me, one eye open. I sat at the far end and ordered 150 grams of cheap cognac. Just then, one of the women from outside the cafe entered, walked towards and then passed me, turned to leave, then turned around a second time and said to me, "We feel sorry for you being alone. Would you like to join us somewhere else?" "Sure," I said. "Meet us outside." She walked out. I downed as much of the cognac as I could take and asked the bartender, an aging woman, "Are all Slutsk girls this friendly?" "Only if the person is from out of town," she answered. I joined the two women outside the door. "That cafe was horrible, we couldn't even stand being in there," said the one who'd rescued me. Her name was Olga, and the other one was her younger sister, Yulia. They told me that there was a much better caf down the street with a better crowd. They were waiting to join a friend of theirs, Alla. We powerwalked along the ice as best we could to the next cafe, called V Dalee ot Zhyon, or Far Away From The Wives. It was crowded, packed mostly with young banditibees in black leather coats. A few had young girlfriends on their arms, cute ones too. Alla stood at the counter and ordered: a carafe of vodka, four crab and mayonnaise salads, sliced ham, bread, Sprite, and a bottle of Medvedovskaya Krov wine for Olga. Adding two more vodka carafes and other goodies, the whole bill came to nine dollars. I sat next to Olga, who told me that she'd spent the whole past week inside her apartment and that today, she'd decided to go out with her sister and Alla. I didn't really get a good look at Alla yet. Her face was either hidden in a full fur hood on the street, or she was at the bar giving endless orders. It wasn't until she took a seat directly across from me that I literally yelped, knocking into the table: her face looked exactly like the possessed witch in Army of Darkness, the same long shock of silver hair, a gray complexion, gnarled nose and a mouth full of metal teeth: "You shall never get the necronomicon! We shall feast upon your sooooooul..." I had to drink fast. It was clear that I was supposed to be paired up with Olga, who was passably attractive despite the complex wrinkles around and under her eyes. I stole glances at the mini-mafia molls, wondering to myself why I, considering my White God Factor, was stuck with a bunch of old hags, and whether I should try my luck elsewhere. But there was no elsewhere. Olga was thirty-three years old. She told me she'd been to Poland many times, and had recently been to Moscow. Her sister Yulia was twenty-seven. She was one of three sisters and two brothers in the family. I asked Yulia if all Slutsk families were so big, five children, not exactly the norm in modern Russia. "Yeah, we're all like this. I know a family of ten. There's nothing else to do." Yulia said she'd worked for six years as a dancer at Stary Zamok, the town's top restaurant. I assume that meant she was a whore, if the distinction matters. She seemed both proud and unhappy about having been a dancer there -- "It's the best restaurant in Slutsk" -- after six years, she had nothing to show, and now she worked in a factory. That's how she met Alla. Alla told me that the owners of the cafe respected her because just the night before, she'd found her "man" there with three other women and she beat the shit out of him and one of his lovers who hadn't managed to escape. "I beat him unconscious," she said, brandishing her fist and laughing. "You shouldn't mess with me. That bastard. I did everything for him. I worked and put a roof over his head, and he goes and takes three lovers." None of this was helping my mojo: aging women, a haunt who doubled as a man-beater, images of Alla having sex with some unemployed, salo-fattened prole, and him with his three lovers... Alla told me she'd once beaten the shit out of Yulia. That's how they became friends. Yulia lived in the same podezd as Alla. And Yulia carried on an affair with Alla's then-boyfriend. Alla found out, stalked Yulia, and stomped her. After that, they became friends. To prove it, they kissed like a pair of football players, smacking loudly but very un-sexually. Olga quietly emptied the bottle of Bear's Blood next to me. She was amazed that I was American. "I've known Polacks," she said. "I thought you were a Caucasian. You seemed nice and handsome, a foreigner, so I decided we should rescue you from the club." The night starts to get blurry here. I pushed myself to go on until the bitter end, to get the story. But the cheap liquor, the travel and cold suddenly put a sleeping spell on me. I remember we stumbled across the road to Stary Zamok, but it had closed early for lack of a single client -- on a Thursday night! They led me to some kind of second-floor club with a bar and a small disco. All I remember is ordering the worst pelmeni of my life, and eating it. Then stealing some of Yulia's horrific fried meat balls -- tongue meat in a brown chewy foam-like batter. I was burping up bad pelmeni meat into Olga's face as she tried to keep the mojo going. "I smell your pelmeni." "I know." "You want to sleep, don't you?" I was sound asleep in my chair for most of the rest of the evening, I mean deep REM sleep, until they mercifully decided to leave. Olga pulled me away from the other two and walked me downstairs. "You want to stay with me at my place, don't you?" she said. "Yes, I want to stay at your place," I said. She bundled me into a taxi, and I passed out again. Then awoke in the projects. We rode the elevator up to her apartment. A mountain bike blocked the door -- she moved it aside -- and in the first room next to the entry hall, I noticed the head of a young teenager, the Bobby Brady of Belarus, resting on a pillow. He told Olga that "he" had called a few times. "He" turned out to be her "man," as she called him, a Czech businessman who was part husband, part sponsor. Olga closed the door to her son's bedroom, which probably doubled as the TV room as well, and whispered to me, "My man feels that I'm with someone. Men can sense these things. You understand?" "Yeah, I understand," I said, stung, because for the most part men don't understand. She called her "man" on her phone, while I crashed on her bed, a double made out of two twins pushed together covered with a pink comforter. Olga woke me up and asked me if I wanted to take a shower. "No." She came back again what seemed like hours later with a towel. "Go take a shower," she said. I snapped the towel and lifted myself up. I couldn't pass out here. Good money had been sunk into the Slutsk expedition. And here I was, in the slut's very own habitat, as close to the kill as anyone could hope to be. The eXile's shareholders would never forgive me if I copped out now. She took her obligatory pre-sex dyev shower after seeing mine through. I kept myself awake by trying to record the details of her bedroom. It was modestly luxurious by early 90s Warsaw Pact standards. She had a gaudy pink light fixture, a kind of mini-chandelier with pink glass orchids and various blooming lamp pedals. Above the dresser mirror was a collection of German hair styling spray bottles. They must be hard to find in Slutsk -- I remember Czechs and Poles displaying their Western cans of spray and soft drinks in the early 90s. Olga also had large posters of scantily-clad women on her walls, including one in a bikini thong whose figure had been cut out from the rest of the poster and glued to the wall. When Olga returned I pounced. She wasn't what I'd expected: instead of the lumpy, smelly, sweaty body of a typical aging provincial slut, she was thin, much prettier with all her clothes off, with something of Meg Ryan's mouth (not that I like Meg Ryan) and a fashionable mom hairdo. The other surprise was how dry her snapper was. I remember what Dr. Limonov had written about older women's pussies -- "like glue" -- it was one of the reasons why he "gave advices" to "throw away older wife, get yourself young teenage girl." Her small breasts had large No. 2 pencil eraser nipples, but no matter what tricks I tried pulling out of my bag, her snapper was like cloth, like putting your fingers between worn leather cushions on an old couch. "It's been so long since I've been with a man," she told me. I tried to close the deal, but it wasn't working. "I'll get some cream," she said. She stood up and opened a drawer in her dresser. God knows how I managed to maintain wood during this -- I'm not happy about it, believe me. She squirted some cream into her hand and worked it into her gluey snapper. That made things marginally better. Finally I worked my way in. But for all my effort I didn't get much pleasure and nothing close to an orgasm. I passed out after - maybe five minutes, maybe thirty, maybe an hour, I really have no idea. Early the next morning I awoke with a rancid hangover and a mouth nearly as dry as her pussy. The neighbors upstairs were stomping around. "Let me put on some music," she said. She played some kind of Italian pop cassette on her box. "I've had a problem with my neighbors ever since I moved here," she said. "They don't work. They're both alcoholics. They wake up every morning at six and stomp around loudly. It used to be worse. They'd put on some kind of hard soles and stomp loudly on their wooden floor. I called the militia on them. It only made them angrier. So I went upstairs and demanded that they not wake me up at 6am. I screamed. They're a couple, in their forties, with a 16-year-old boy. They were rude, so I forced my way in and beat the hell out of both of them. They were so drunk, and I was angry. Alla's not the only one - I can do that too." It was hard to imagine Olga like Alla -- in the morning she appeared, in spite of her sandpaper snapper, even prettier. "I bought them carpeting. They took it. It's much better now, but it's still unbearable, isn't it?" "It's pretty loud," I agreed. It was hard to imagine that there was carpeting muffling their shoes -- it must have sounded like a construction site before. "I tried everything. I tried being nice. I brought back chocolates from Brno when I visited my man. The 16-year-old upstairs loved them too much. He called me a later and said, 'Those chocolates were so good. If you don't bring me more of those chocolates soon, I'm really going to make a racket upstairs, and much earlier than ever.'" "You should have told him that if he ever threatened you again, he'd never see another Czech chocolate in his life," I said. "I did. I told him, 'Who the hell do you think you are, you little bastard?! I should come up there and tear you to pieces. You're threatening me?! Forget the chocolates! If I ever see you..." " -- Okay, I see," said, interrupting her. These Slutsk girls...someone should hustle them in mud wrestling competitions. I asked her about her "man." They'd met a year and a half ago. She took a job in a factory in Brno, working on a line, tying ribbons around packages of paper napkins. "I had financial difficulties, I had to find work," she said. The owner of the factory walked the floor one day and spotted Olga. "He saw me, pulled me off the line, told me he didn't want to subject me to such work ever again, and said he'd fallen in love. Just like that. I wasn't so sure. He's almost 50. He's an older man, with a stomach." So I'm not the only one acting out Count Tolstoi fantasies. The Czech understood the true advantage of running a sweatshop using cheap Slavic labor: that stroll down the factory line, inspecting the women workers, rating them, fantasizing about how desperate they are, and finally, choosing whichever one he wanted to "rescue," acting out some 19th century European fantasy. "He wants me to move to Brno, but I don't want to," Olga said. "My son, I want him to stay in school here. He also wants me to move to Moscow, where's he's considering opening up another factory. Assembling furniture and other stuff. I went to Moscow with him a few months ago. There's a Czech mafia in Moscow. We all went out for dinner and a long night at the casino: me, my man, the Czech mafia and the local Russian mafia who would be the krysha for his factory. At the end of the night, most of them had left their phone numbers in my purse. I was so surprised when I saw what they'd done. Of course I didn't tell my man. It would just upset him." Olga had married and birthed her son when she was nineteen. Her first husband was an Army type and a loser. He always wanted to punish the boy. They divorced after five years. The boy didn't want to see his father -- he was happy to have him out of his life. The father moved to Minsk. They saw each other once every year or two. Olga's own family were sluchyaninie on her mother's side, Siberians on her father's. Her grandmother told her about the Nazi occupation of Slutsk. "Most of the time the Nazis were okay. My grandmother and grandfather lived out in their dacha. The Germans would come back and say, 'Ekks!' They wanted eggs and food. My grandma said they were polite and paid for everything. Then they went crazier. Once they locked up as many people from the village as they could fit inside a barn and set it on fire. My grandmother heard the screams." "Wasn't Slutsk a Jewish town before the Nazis came?" "Yes, there were many Jews here. The Nazis killed all of them." "Are there any left?" "Not that I know of." Her parents both worked in the railroads. Her father was a signal man. Now he's an invalid. About two years ago he'd injured his leg badly in a railroad track accident and didn't get proper treatment for it. Being the hardy peasant type, he didn't complain as it got worse. Then it turned green and black. "He got gangrene. They had to amputate it. Now he doesn't want to live. He tells me that he wants to die and not be a burden to us. The gangrene may have spread to his other leg. He may have to have it amputated soon." I asked about Belorussian medical insurance, the one I was forced to purchase through the hotel as a tourist. "Ha! What medical insurance! You're on your own here. Actually the burden is all on my shoulders. Everyone barely survives. My man helps out a lot. It's one reason why I'm with him. He's good for my son, for my family. He helps with so much."

Are there any known issues or problems? I am having trouble finding what I need. Where can I get some research help? What is SuperSearch? Searches up to 8 database resources using one interface. Merge duplicate records from multiple databases. Create a list of favorite resources. Store personal searches for future use and set up e-mail alerts. Link to individual resources for more advanced searching. Link to full text and other options using Who can use SuperSearch? How do I login? SuperSearch is available to all students, faculty and staff. On-campus or off-campus access to all Stout users is available by logging into SuperSearch using a Stout e-mail username and password. In the PDS-Patron Directory Services window, type in your Stout e-mail username (User ID) and password. For Institution, click on the down arrow in the pull down menu, highlight UW-Stout and click on Login. The Custom Search screen will appear. What resources are available in SuperSearch? SuperSearch provides access to a variety of online resources including journal/periodical databases, journal/periodical articles, dictionaries, library catalogs, encyclopedias, etc. Many of the databases are full text. Quick Search : Click on Quick Search to perform a Google-like search on multiple databases. The QuickSearch indexes include Academic Search Elite (EBSCO), Masterfile Premier (EBSCO), Omnifile FT Mega (Wilson) and the UW-Stout Catalog. Two other Quick Search sets are available for searching the UW System libraries simultaneously. Custom Search : Click on Custom Search to search Quick Sets, Categories, or locate a Database. Category searching allows you to find and search one or more databases grouped by subject. Find Resource : Click on Find Resource to find a specific database or to see which databases contain full text. Find a database by using the Title, Locate, or Category tabs. Ex: Academic Search Elite (EBSCO) Find Journal : Click on Find Journal to find a specific journal, magazine or newspaper that provide full text in a database. My Space : Click on My Space to set up your personal preferences for searching SuperSearch, including selected records or databases for future use. How do I search more than one resource? Many of the resources within SuperSearch are cross-searchable, meaning they can be searched simultaneously regardless of the vendor. For other resources which do not have cross-searchability, you must link directly to the resources in order to search them, also known as linking to the "native interface." The "native interface" allows you to use any of the special features a vendor may provide and may be a better approach for complex searching. When resources are listed in the categories there are boxes that can be checked or unchecked depending on if one or more databases are to be searched simultaneously. If there are more than 8 databases listed the boxes will be unchecked and you can select up to 8 to search. If there are less than 8 all the databases will be checked and all can be searched at the same time or uncheck the ones not wanted. To help facilitate searching there are two sub-categories, Core and All . Core Sub-Categories have been created so that the basic databases for a subject plus the UW-Stout Catalog may be searched simultaneously. All Sub-Categories include all databases relevant to the subject. Select multiple databases by checking the boxes. What methods are available for searching? The two primary methods for searching are Simple and Advanced . Simple : allows you to create a search with truncation and Boolean operators. Ex: test anxiety and college student? Advanced : allows you to create a complex search using keywords, specific fields (all words [keywords], subjects, authors, titles, etc.) and Boolean operators to combine terms. Type in a term in a search box. The pull down menus select the fields to search and what Boolean operator to use. [Default Search] What are truncation and Boolean operators? Truncation : This is a way to search for words beginning with the word stem followed by a question mark (?). For example, type: walk? to find the words walk, walks, or walker, etc. There is no consistent standard for truncating in SuperSearch as some databases use the ? and some use *. If one symbol doesn't work, try the other--or do separate searches for singular and plural or other word endings--or resort to using the native interface. Boolean Operators : This is a way to search by combining terms using logic. And - combines search terms so that each search result contains all of the terms. Ex: travel and europe Or - combines search terms so that each search result contains at least one of the terms. Ex: colleges or universities Not - excludes terms so that each search result does not contain any of the terms that follow it. Ex: television not cable What do the graphic icons mean in SuperSearch? SuperSearch uses a number of graphic icons (symbols) as shortcuts for descriptive information for an action, searching, saving records to user's personal space, etc. = describes a database and provides searching tips = adds the database to your personal space (My Space) = search a database using the SuperSearch interface = deletes an action, such as a selected database from My Space = moves a database to your e-Shelf database set = to view more results or records = saves a record to your PC = sends a record via e-mail = view a record in its original format = save a record to your e-Shelf folder in My Space or or link to full text or other options = indicates that full text is available in a database = saves as icon. Used in My Space = delete a folder in My Space = update icon in My Space = save Alert = edit Alert How do I view the results after a search? There are three ways to view results: Results List/Table View shows the title of the article/book, author, year and database. More records are available on the screen at a time. After a search is performed Table View is the display default. Select the other two types of views from the Table View. Brief View displays results one after another and includes the same information as in the Table View plus the journal/periodical title, volume, page and date. Click on Table View (upper left) to return to the result list. Full View shows the most information including an abstract and full text if available one record at a time. Click on Table View (upper left) to return to the result list. Sometimes only a subset of all the results are shown. To retrieve more records, go to the last record and click on Get More , some but not all the original results will appear in your new result list. The system is redoing the search and again pulling up the first records it finds in no particular order . New citations will, however, be in bold print. To see the results grouped by database, click on "view results by databases" (just above the results list). Click on a database name to see the results in that database. The "resource" field provides a link to the article in the native interface for many of the databases, but not all databases provide a direct link in SuperSearch. What if I want to sort my results? You may sort results by rank (relevance), title, author, year or database. Sorting however, is not available for every database. To sort, click on the down arrow in pull down menu and select the sort type. How do I find an article after viewing the results? The Table View , Brief View , and Full View pages all provide several options for viewing articles. Article Title : Click on the Article Title to view the full record. If available, full text will be displayed at the end of the record. will be displayed by clicking on the link in the "External" field of the record if if the article is in PDF format. Database Link : Click on the Database Link to view the article in the "native interface." This does not work for every database. If the article does not appear, you may have to recreate your search in the database's native interface. Link : Click on the Find it! Link to generate a menu that may provide links to full text articles from other vendors. How do I search and request a book or AV item from another UW library? Two Quick Search sets are available for searching the UW System libraries simultaneously. Choose one of the UW-Libraries menus (limited to 8 libraries at a time) by clicking in the radio button. To request a book or AV item from another UW library use Universal Borrowing (UB) . Perform a search in one of the UW-Libraries Quick Sets. Select an item. Click on a record. Click on the Resource link to the native interface link in one of the UW libraries. Note: Do not use UW-Madison which does not allow outside libraries access to their UB system. Click on the Other Catalogs button. Select All Universal Borrowing Libraries . Click on the Request button. Login with your UW Stout username and 7-digit Student ID number. The default will be UB , click OK . Complete and submit the UB form. You will need to copy and paste the title you are requesting. UB Instructions are available to help you complete a request. A UB request can be sent to a UW library of your choice to be picked up; notification will be sent by e-mail. How can I get an article or a book/ AV item if it's not available full text or from a UW library? Not all materials that you might need will be available from Stout or UW libraries. You may need to request other items such as periodical articles through the library's interlibrary loan service, ILLiad. Select the indexes to search from one of the Quick Search Indexes or Subject Categoies drop down menus by clicking in the appropriate checkboxes. From the resulting list, click on the button. If a link to full text is not available, and the journal is not held by the library, click on ILLiad and login with your UW Stout username and 7-digit Stout ID number. The form will automatically be filled out with the information from the index.. Sometimes not all the information appears and you will need to copy and paste the information that is needed. Click on Submit . Usually the article will be sent in electronic format to your Stout e-mail account. Interlibrary Loan Instructions are available. How can I save my results? The best method is to save to My Space . Save to My Space: From any of the result views, click on the Folder Icon . The folder icon will change and include a plus sign (+). This indicates the article information that has been put into My Space. There is no limit to the number of articles that can be selected. Click on the My Space link in the upper toolbar. Place a check mark next to the article information to save. Click on the Save As Icon . A Save As window will appear. Type in a folder (file) name and click Save . The article information will be saved to your personal folder, accessible anytime you are logged into SuperSearch. Delete in My Space: Click on My Space in the upper toolbar. Place a check mark next the the article information to delete. Click on the Delete Action Icon to remove the article. Click on Trash Can Icon to delete the whole folder. What if I only want to search certain databases when I login to SuperSearch? (My Space) SuperSearch allows you the option of creating your own database list or set, so that when you personally login the databases are already selected. Create a Personal List (Set) of Databases: Login to SuperSearch using your Stout email username and password. Click on Find Resource from the upper toolbar. Select the database(s) by clicking on the Plus Icon to add the database to your list. Click on My Space and then My Resources in the upper toolbars. Click on the Down Arrow in the drop down menu to create a new set with the databases selected Click on the Create Folder Icon and a window will appear. Type in a name for the list (set) and click on Save . Click on the Left Arrow Icon to move the database into a set on the left of the screen. To save the set, click on the Save As Icon . Type in a folder (file) name and click Save . The set of databases will be saved to your personal folder, accessible anytime you are logged onto SuperSearch. To give the set a description, click on the Update Icon . View a List (Set): To view a personal list, click on Quick Search from the upper toolbar. All personal lists will be displayed above the Quick Search sets. Perform a search in your personal list. Note: Only databases with the Magnifying Glass Icon can be searched from the Quick Search screen. Databases without the Magnifying Glass Icon can only be searched one-at-a-time by going into the native interface (click on the database name). Delete a List (Set): Click on My Space then My Resources from the upper toolbars. Select the Set from the pull down menu. Click on the Trash Can Icon , a window will appear asking if you want to delete the set, click OK . What if I want to re-run a search on a regular basis? SuperSearch allows you to save searches so you can re-run them at a later date. You can also run a search automatically, by setting up an alert. Alerts can be run at an interval you specify (ex: daily, weekly, etc.) and the results of the search can be e-mailed to you. To Save a Search or Setup an Alert : Select the databases you wish to search and enter your search terms. After the search results appear, click on Custom Search and then Previous Searches in the upper toolbars. Click on the Plus Sign to save it. Click on My Space and then My History in the upper toolbars. The saved searches during the current session will be listed. Click on the query to re-run the search. To set the search as an Alert , click on the Bell Icon . A window will appear asking for: an Alert Name full e-mail address (ex: smithp@uwstout.edu) receiving a message if there are no results (yes or no) run the Alert every day, week or month select the databases to be run (check or uncheck the boxes) Click on Submit . To edit the Alert, click on the Edit Icon . To delete an Alert, click on the Delete Action Icon and the Alert will be removed. How do I exit SuperSearch when I'm done? Always exit SuperSearch by clicking on the Exit link in the upper right of the screen which will return you to the library home page.. Are there any known issues or problems? General: Not all of the library's resources/databases can be searched in SuperSearch. These are the resources that do not have the Magnifying Glass next to the resource name. These are "link only" databases to the native interface resources where you must access the vendor's interface in order to search. As more resources are OpenURL compliant it will be possible to search them through SuperSearch. Link only databases can not be searched simultaneously with other resources. Not all fields searchable in the native interface are searchable in SuperSearch. Sometimes you must use the native interface (click on the database name to search it as done in the past) in order to get more precise results. SuperSearch is not fully compatible with screen readers. Mac users will find that Safari works better than IE with SuperSearch. Supported browsers are IE 5.0 or higher (Windows only), Netscape 6 or higher and Mozilla. Specific: Sorting isn't possible in every database. In some databases, sorting results by title does not ignore the initial articles like a, an, the, etc. When searching multiple databases, the system does not retrieve all of the results. It returns a portion of all the results, regardless of date or relevancy, although usually it seems to be the newest records in the database. Search results when searching multiple databases, are in the order in which they were retrieved, and are not necessarily in any meaningful order. Sorting may remedy this if it's allowed. Alternatively, you can also request that the system go and get more of the records to find the most relevant citations in the search results list. If you search the UW-Stout Catalog in SuperSearch, click on a title, click the Find it! button and don't see the UW-Stout Catalog on the Find it Menu it is because the title doesn't have an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) or International Standard Serial Number (ISSN). Hopefully this will be remedied in a future release. See a reference librarian for additional help. All items in the UW-Stout Catalog have assigned call numbers which are necessary to find books, videos, etc., however in SuperSearch local call numbers may not appear. Items with local call numbers are materials primarily concerning the Menomonie area such as archives and Stout theses. To view the local call number click the Database Link in the "Resource" field to see the record with call number in the UW-Stout Catalog native interface. I am having trouble finding what I need. Where can I get some research help? Just click on for help. You can send an email message to Stout librarians and we will try to answer your questions. Librarians check Reference Email during scheduled reference hours. Last Updated: 01/11/2006 and Last Revised: 5/27/05 Contact Ask a Librarian 715-232-1353 for more information or help on this topic.
