What are the limitations of a PrimoDiscovery search?
Answer
It will not replace advanced search features specific to an individual database. It does not use specialized subject terms created by a database for in-depth or "power" searching. For comprehensive, specialized, or in-depth research, you need to use the comprehensive database for your particular field. Examples include MathSciNet (for math) and PsycINFO (for psychology). Not all databases can be included in a combined search--it depends (1) on the vendor who controls the database and (2) on how the database has been constructed. Examples of databases that can NOT be included in a combined search are ProQuest's HeritageQuest Online, Texas Digital Sanborn Maps, or Thomson Gale's InfoTrac Custom Newspapers.
