Vogue Italia Archive offers currently two Look ups (i.e., browsable indexes), so you can easily find spelling or format variations of, for example, an author's or company item. You can find the Look up links in the advanced search page and they are available for the following searchable fields:
For a description of these fields, please see the searchable fields table to the right.
Note: Look ups are also available from the Command Line search (through the Look up terms link located on the right side of the page).
To use and locate a Look up, select the field from the advanced search drop-down menu. If a Look up is available, under the search row you will see a link to the Look up (e.g., Look up Authors).
Select the Look up link and then you will see a browsable and alphabetical index for that field. There are some indexes that will not display an alphabetical list before searching for the term, rather you will have to enter a term first, and then the alphabetical list of matches will display.
Once you locate the index term that you would like to add to your search, mark the item, and then click the Add to search button. The index term will now appear in the advanced search form along with the appropriate pull-down menu selection. You may select multiple items by checking the box next to each, then selecting either the AND or the OR Boolean operator radio button prior to clicking the Search button.
The language of the original articles text in Vogue Italia Archive is Italian. It is not translated, thus a search based on subject terms in the text fields (Title, Full Text and Abstract) should use Italian terms. However, quite often article titles are in English language, so for colours, city names, materials, generic terms such as Flowers, Food etc, it is advisable using both alternatives: English and Italian, for higher recall. Ex.: Red or Rosso
