Multi-Search
What is Multi-Search?
Multi-Search is a TOTALLY NEW federated search engine the Library purchased to replace the old Central Search product. Multi-Search allows you to simultaneously search multiple UNO Library databases. Multi-Search will link you directly to online resources found in multiple databases and journals. Multi-Search allows you to login to your “My Account”, create customized search groups, add items to a “session folder”, print or email “session folder” entries and do a whole lot more.
Remember though, not all UNO Library databases are included within Multi-Search.
Search Tips
- Use “Resource Categories” to search multiple databases within the stated subject areas.
- Use “Best Bets” to search some of the "Top 10 databases" and the library catalog at the same time.
- Limiting your search to 4 or 5 databases at a time or one subject area results in quicker response times for search results.
- Use the “Advanced Search” to assist building complex queries\boolean searching.
- Use quotes to search a phrase, e.g., “gun control”
Reminder
When doing in-depth research, you will get better results by searching databases directly, as direct searches within each database allow use of thesauri and filters/limiting options.
Systematic downloading of large amounts of material in a short period of time (such as all abstracts and/or full text articles from entire journal issues) is strictly prohibited by publishers. Failure by patrons to comply with this restriction may result in the loss of access by all users to a particular resource.
