You can often search more than one database, if they are from the same company. The three companies that provide most of our library databases are: EBSCOhost, Gale, and ProQuest. Each has a way to search more than one database at a time, but you cannot search two databases from different companies at the same time, except through searching all of them at the same time through the Quick Search bar on the library homepage.

Here is how to add databases to your search if you are using an EBSCOhost database.

1. Click on Choose Databases next to the database name.

2. A large menu of all the databases we subscribe to from this company will pop up.

3. Select the databases relevant to your search by checking the boxes. You can get descriptions by clicking the > (greater than symbol) next to a database's title.

To search multiple Gale databases, choose the "Gale Power Search" database from the Databases A - Z list. From there you can choose from the Gale databases available.

For ProQuest, from any ProQuest Database (you can choose any one as a starting point from the Databases A - Z list) click on the three lines in the top left corner.

Then choose "Change databases" from the menu.

From there you can choose what databases to search, hitting the "Use Selected Databases" button when you are ready to search.
