Scenario 6 — Telephone numbers for Newark, NJ foundations.

 Question: I have to update my organization's telephone list of Newark, New Jersey-based foundations. How do I find the ones with a telephone number?

Answer: For this search, we'll combine two index terms with a text search term. Since all foundations have an address field, we'll include the foundation city and state, and we'll also include the word telephone to narrow our results to those foundations that list a telephone number.

Tip: In this section of the tutorial you are instructed to type search words into the Index Search fields, but it's suggested you use the indexes instead if you're not yet well acquainted with common terms used in The Foundation Directory Online.

Follow these steps:
    1. Type NJ in the Foundation State field.
    2. Type Newark in the Foundation City field.
    3. Type Telephone in the Text Search field.
    4. Click Search. The Results List appears displaying a list of all foundations with your search terms.
    5. Click a foundation name on the Results List to view it in the Record Display window.
    6. Click Close Window when you are through viewing the record, and click on another foundation name in the results list or click New Search to go back to the Search Screen and start over.
