The library has adopted a new Quick Search platform in order to provide more accurate search results and better access to many of our premier digital resources. This video gives a brief introduction to the features of the new Quick Search. Please reach out to the librarians if you have any questions about the new product or would like a personalized demonstration.
Please note: while we anticipate that the new Quick Search will work better than the old one, it doesn't search everything the library offers. You will still get the best results by searching in the databases that are specialized for your area of study by selecting your subject area from the guide list below.
The old Quick Search is still available on a limited basis by going to the Database list and selecting WorldCat Discovery.
Our databases that use the EBSCO platform (primarily APA PsycInfo, Atla Religion Database, Business Source Elite, CINAHL, EBSCO eBooks, and MLA International Bibliography) have moved to their new user interface. The video below introduces the key features of this platform.
