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 home page, you'll be searching a number of different databases simultaneously. Most of these are article databases, but Discovery also searches WorldCat, which contains records for every item we own - essentially, it is our book catalog.  

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, you can use the search box found at the top of the A-Z Databases page (Click on the Articles & Databases link from the home page) or by clicking here.

Method(s) 3: Another good way to search more than one database at a time is to use a specific vendor's search. You will still be to access (most of the) powerful tools that individual databases have to help you filter and sort. To search multiple EBSCOhost databases: from within any EBSCOhost database (using our proxied library links), 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.
