Not sure where to start?

• Choose Almost Everything to search millions* of our resources, including print books, e-books, articles, media, maps, government documents, and much more. Millions, yes, but you won't find everything. To find additional resources, or for more focused searching, try a database from our A-Z Database List.
• Choose Books and more to search our physical (on site) resources, e-books, and streaming videos. You can also limit your search to digital repository (DSpace) or Semester at Sea items.
• Choose Articles and more to search articles and similar items from selected databases indexed by Primo.
• Choose Course Reserves to search for physical materials placed on reserve.

Core principles for creating efficient search statements that are applicable in virtually any database.

• Wildcard (#): The “#” replaces any extra characters that may appear in alternative spellings. For example, “colo#r” finds both color and colour.
• Wildcard (?): The “?” replaces one character, for example “ne?t” finds neat, nest, or next, but will not find net.
• Truncation (*): The “*” replaces any number of characters and will find all forms of a word root, for example, “therap*” finds therapy, therapies, therapist, therapists, therapeutic, therapeutically, etc.
