  Create simple and/or advanced search queries on your library or departmental websites.
  
  Use the Scopus inward searching syntax:
  http://www.scopus.com/scopus/search/submit/xadvanced.url?searchfield= CODE OF THE SEARCH FIELD (search term A Boolean Operator search term B)
  
  Examples:
• http://www.scopus.com/scopus/search/submit/xadvanced.url?searchfield=TITLE-ABS-KEY(myb and retrovirus)
• http://www.scopus.com/scopus/search/submit/xadvanced.url?searchfield=TITLE-ABS-KEY(Acromegaly and "growth hormone")
