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: use this FAQ or go to any EBSCOhost database (using our proxied library links on the A-Z list) and then click on the hyperlinked "Searching" (above the top search box). Place a check mark next to the databases you want to search and then "Select" to change the Ebsco databases your search will use.
THEN:
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.
