Selecting Multiple Databases

Now you can do one search in all selected databases.

NOTE: each database has its own set of filters and limiters which may not be applicable to all databases searched, so your results may be impacted.

The results list can be filtered by the specific database if needed. On the Results screen, under All Filters, see Databases.

Multidatabase Search Results Filter by Database

Search TIP: each database has its own subject headings which can differ significantly. When searching try a variety of keywords. A keyword that works well in one database may not in another.
