PRODUCT INDEX/LOCATOR CODE LISTING
Product No. 118
General The Vendor Product Comparison Index contains over
Description 89,000 specific product/subject terms. Each search term has
a specific VSMF Locator Code associated with it. These VSMF
Locator Codes, developed by IHS, enable users to search for
vendor catalog data contained in the Design, Marine and
Metric Engineering Services and the Product Oriented Data
(POD) segments. Listed under each code are the vendors in
these services having product information for the search term
being used. This index is a principle access to
approximately 1,000,000 pages of vendor catalog data arranged
in a "side-by-side" format for product comparison viewing.
Content Inclusive within the index is:
■ The Product/Subject Index listing more than 89,000
product/subject search terms. This portion of the index
contains the appropriate VSMF Locator Code for each
search term.
■ The Locator Code Listing which contains over 7,000
codings. This portion contains a listing of vendors who
have data in the system for each locator code.
■ Vendor Name Listing. A separate section showing an
alphabetical name listing of all vendors appearing in the
Design/Marine/Metric Engineering System.
■ Microfilm Cartridge and Frame location to view the
vendors catalog data.

of Data schematics, specification sheets, applications data, pricing
data and other general catalog data as provided by the
manufacturer, are arranged on microfilm so that all like
items in a product area appear side-by-side for rapid
comparison.
Indexing Over 89,000 specific product and subject terms direct the
user to the Locator Code Listing. The Locator Code Listing

provided by the manufacturer; such as drawings, schematics
specification sheets, applications data, and other general
catalog information.
Indexing Canadian catalog data can be located by either the vendor's
name or by general product term callouts listed in a printed
paper index.
Product in Full-Text Search of Order of Data
Development
One product in development will soon permit searching
full-text of the Order of Data, a very detailed summary
of the microfilm file contents.
Results of all searches are page-specific. They point to
the microfilm cartridge(s) and frame number(s) where that
search term may be found.
Search Whole words or phrases can be searched. Truncated searching
Capability is also permitted. Search results may be saved to a file or
printed out. You may also search on a "saved" search to
further refine your search to optimize time
spent at the reader/printer.
This product allows you to search the Order of Data for:
■ COMPANY NAMES OF MASTER VENDORS
Searches can be as fine as matching an address, phone
or fax number, or postal code.
■ 'WINDOW' COMPANY NAME SEARCHES
'Window' companies are companies that are represented
by the main vendor. Manufacturers commonly represent
the products of other manufacturers. This is also a
way to find the principals represented by a Canadian
distributor in the service.
■ PRODUCT SEARCHES
Searches can be made by key word, key word with
descriptors, or just a descriptor. A quick way to find
out the range of nuclear products on the service would
be to search for descriptor 'nuclear'.

The MEDS Service also contains the ECRI Health Devices
Sourcebook which extends product search capability as well as
brand/trade name search capabilities.
Organization Product Catalogs are microfilmed cover-to-cover and packaged
of Data in cartridges together with additional technical data as
provided by the manufacturer; such as drawings, schematics,
specification sheets, applications data, pricing data and
other general catalog information.
Indexing Products data can be located on film by vendor name or
product/locator code. Both types of search begin in a
printed index.
■ Vendor section: Vendors are listed alphabetically
showing the vendor's divisional name structure, primary
address, phone numbers and an Order of Data listing
showing the major elements of his catalog with specific
film locations for each element listed. Vendor name
listings also contain SIC, CAGE, 800, TWX, TELEX and
CABLE numbers when available from the vendor.
■ Product/Locator Code Section: This indexing method
utilizes 89,000 specific technical terms to direct the
