Discovery Search

The Discovery Search allows you to search most of the resources in the UHSP library collection with a single search!

Search our print books, e-books, full-text articles, and journal titles. 

Discovery does NOT search everything...

Discovery isn't able to search all of our resources, you will need to consult specific databases when appropriate. Resources not searched by Discovery are the pharmacy-focused databases listed below and MOBIUS (a shared catalog of books).

  • EMBASE
  • Facts & Comparisons
  • Lexicomp
  • Micromedex
  • Natural Medicines
  • PubMed
  • SciFinder-n
  • UpToDate​​
To search any of these databases, use the Databases search box on the library page.
