Yes, you can search more than one database at one time, and there are a few different ways to accomplish this!
Method 1: If you use the Discovery Search box on the Library's homepage, you'll be searching a number of different databases simultaneously. Most of these are article databases, but Discovery is also our catalog, so you will get book and video results as well. After doing a search, you can limit to ARTICLES on the left side of the results screen.
Method 2: To search multiple databases simultaneously for ONLY ARTICLES directly (a catalog search with the filters already set), you can use the search box found on the A-Z Databases listing page (Click on the Articles & Databases link from the home page) or by going here.
Method(s) 3: Another good way to search more than one database at a time is to use a specific vendor's search, which searches all databases we subscribe to from that vendor if the platform offers it. For example, to search multiple EBSCOhost databases: go to any EBSCOhost database (using our proxied library links) and then click on "Choose Databases" (above the top search box). Place a check mark next to the databases you want to search and click OK.
To search multiple Gale databases all at once, simply use Gale's Power Search database to select the databases you wish to search through all at once.
