Working with Resources

Discover

Discover is the library search tool that searches across databases, electronic books, and print books at the same time. This is a great place to start when you aren't sure which subject-specific database is right for you, when you are doing interdisciplinary research, or when you have finished searching subject-specific databases and want to see if you missed anything.
