+==== Field Code Searching ====
+Field codes allow for searching individual metadata fields in EDS and EBSCOhost. There is no centralized place on EBSCOConnect where this lives. Below are some of the most important.
+|TX-All Text|Performs a keyword search of all the database's searchable fields. Using the TX field code will cause the search to look for the keyword in the full text as well as the citation record.|
+|AU-Author|Performs a keyword search for any authors of an article.|
+|TI-Title|Searches keywords in a record's English and non-English title field.|
+|JN-Journal Title|Searches keywords in a record's Journal Title title field.|
+|SU-Subject Terms|Performs a keyword search of the subject headings listed in the records.|
+|DE-Exact Subject heading|Performs a search for exact subject headings within the Subject Fields section of a citation.|
+|SO-Source|Performs a keyword search for the journal name of the article.|
+|AB-Abstract|Performs a keyword search of the abstract summaries.|
+|IS-ISSN|Performs an exact search for a publication's International Standard Serial Number.|
+|IB-ISBN|Performs an exact search for an article's identification number in the ISBN and EISBN fields.|
+|FT Y|Use in conjunction with a Boolean Operator to find all Full Text for a Search Term|
+|FM T|Use in conjunction with a Boolean Operator to find all HTML Full Text for a Search Term|
+|FM P|Use in conjunction with a Boolean Operator to find all PDF Full Text for a Search Term|
+|FM C|Use in conjunction with a Boolean Operator to find all HTML Full Text with Graphics for a Search Term|

 ==== Native Linking ====
 Primary linking for EBSCOhost databases is through direct links to PDF/HTML (Smart Links) and Linked Full Text (Smart Links Plus). Anything else is powered by CustomLinks (which we have chosen not to enable in EBSCOhost) and the link resolver CustomLink.
+==== Profiles ====
+We have several profiles for ehost databases. The most important is "EBSCOhost Web (ehost) - ehost" which covers all our EBSCOhost databases. There are other profiles which are named for individual databases but sometimes contain many more than that one resource. "CINAHL and CINAHL Complete (cinplus) - ehost) has almost every ehost database turned on, despite the fact that we don't actually use the profile and CINAHL is managed in ehost. **Bob has said that this does not make sense to continue, although if we wanted to do discipline specific profiles ala Kat then it would. However, they are not being maintained and no one is using them** //Business Search, Cab Abstracts, Inspec Plus, MLA International, Business Book, and PsycInfo are getting hits, but not substantially. Unsure where these URLs are actually being used...See EBSCO_DatabaseUsageReport from Oct. 2019 in the EDS Directory on DRMS. //
 ==== SFX Linking ====
-The main method of linking after native linking is through the SFX UMLinks. The CustomLink "SFX Link Resolver (Main User Group) EHOST" is attached to the "EBSCOhost Web (ehost) - ehost" profile in the Admin. It is joined by a specific CustomLink (SFX Link Resolver (GeoRef Only) UMAAH) for SFX linking through GeoRef. These CLs cascade down to all EBSCOhost databases, regardless of if they have a specific profile. For instance, CINAHL has a profile with no CustomLinks but still uses SFX linking. These CLs are set to "Always Show," with the secondary setting to suppress the CL  based on the local collection "EDRS Exclude (umaah.edex)" being selected. However, UMLinks will show on indexed content regardless of whether there is actually full text. We have no ILL CL enabled in EBSCOhost.
