Research Tools

The Shapiro Library has many tools that can be used to conduct research, but there are five main tools that can be used in the research process from the library homepage. The use of these tools together provides a holistic approach to conducting research and utilizing what the library offers to the fullest. Let's take a look at each of these tools in more detail.

Multi-Search

The Multi-Search is the tool on the homepage of the library that runs the main search box titled "Search for books, articles and more". This is our most "Google-like" search tool, as it searches across most of our digital content housed in the library and through our subscriptions. This is a good tool to start with especially if you only need a few fast sources or if you want to see the breadth of information out there on the topic. It is not the only place to search and can be overwhelming to some users due to the amount of results that can be returned.
