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. The search will search across all the databases offered through the Library. From there, you can narrow to specific databases you would like to search by choosing "Databases" located below the Refine Results menu.

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