How do I search multiple databases?

Answer

The easiest way to search multiple databases at once is through the Quick Search box on the Library homepage. It will search across all the databases offered through the Library. From there, you can narrow to specific databases you would like to search by clicking "All Filters" and then going to the "Content Provider" limiter.

You can also search multiple databases that are from the same company.
