FAQ Index

The SuperSearch software allows you to search by keyword across multiple databases. For example, you can search our online catalog and several journal article databases all with one search. The Quick Search combines the Library's Catalog with Academic Search Premier.

TIP: When you're at the Super Search front page, don't use the default " QuickSearch" box.  Rather, use the Custom Search by following this path: From the Super Search front page, click on " Custom Search." Look on the bar at the left; where it says " Identify database," click the arrow and change to "categories." Then, click on the "category" arrow and find the one that best fits your topic. Click on it. This will bring up a box with a list of the related databases. Above the search box, click on the "Advanced" tab. Put your search terms in the search boxes and hit "Go." It may take a minute or so for the final results to appear. Click on an article title that you are interested in. Scroll down to see if the full-text is available. If it's not, click on the big " Find It" button to see other delivery options.
