Discovery Search Tutorial

Get help using our Discovery Search. Discover all the features that can help you find exactly what you are looking for.

Discovery Search

Discovery Search allows you to search most of our resources with a single search!

Using the Discovery Search, you can search our print books, e-books, full-text articles, and journal titles in one easy search. 

Discovery does NOT search everything...

Discovery isn't able to search all of our resources. Most resources not searched by Discovery are the pharmacy-focused databases listed below and MOBIUS (a shared catalog of books). 

  • EMBASE
  • Facts & Comparisons
  • Lexidrug
  • Micromedex
  • Natural Medicines
  • PubMed
  • SciFinder-n
  • UpToDate​​
Use the Databases search box on the library page to access these databases.
