"Quick Search" is the Libraries' discovery service.  A discovery service is a web interface that allows you to search a wide-range of library resources from a single, simple search box.  Your search results will include books, ebooks, recordings, films, articles -- citations to almost everything in our library databases.  Use Quick Search by entering your keywords in the search box that appears on the Libraries home page.

Tweak your results by using the filters on the left side.  Your initial search may be too large, so limit your results by selecting from choices on the left of your results list -- perhaps just books, or academic articles.  You can also select a date range -- just the latest 5 years, for example. 

Quick Search is a great tool for finding a few resources on a topic -- a useful starting point.  To get more specific, subject-focused results or to search more comprehensively, we suggest that you select databases in the subject area that are appropriate for your topic.
