Using QUICKSearch
QUICKSearch is an easy place to start your research when you don’t know which specialized database to use. It’s also good for the experienced researcher who wants to make sure to get a comprehensive view of the topic. Sometimes great results come from unexpected places. Enter a keyword and click the red button. You may also use the the arrow on the right to trigger the dropdown menu to limit your search to specific items like scholarly journals, print books and eBooks.
Refine Your Search in QUICKSearch
Results are automatically sorted by Relevance, but you may sort them Date Newest or Date Oldest.
Refine your results by using the QUICKSearch facets in the left hand column.
You may choose to limit your search to Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals, IWU Has it, Online Only, Print Books Only or Print Books and eBooks. IWU Has It limits items both online and in the library that are owned by IWU. Online Only limits your search to items that are available online. If you want a book, then try Print Books Only or Print Books and eBooks.
