What will a Quick Search do for me?
Answer
It saves time locating and searching for information. It gives a novice user a quick overview of a subject and provides one search interface for multiple databases. It searches multiple sources at once and gives the user an idea of which databases to use. It links to full-text sources from multiple databases that have been selected by faculty as pertinent to the academic programs at TLU. It presents a list of hits uniformly, regardless of the database. It allows users to sort hits by journal title or database which lets users drill down to the most pertinent hits. It also allows users to sort hits by date, title of article, or author. It lets users link directly to the database with the most pertinent hits and use that database's search boxes.
