High School Classes

• I already have the name of a book or database I want. Use the big search box on the library homepage to find it.
• I am unsure of which databases and journals to check out. Click on the tab where it says Research, select Databases. Use the drop down menus to narrow down by subject. 
• I don't know where I am, the databases look the same/so different. Check for the name of the database somewhere along the top of the page or near the search box. Keep it simple, use the search boxes, and look for a + sign, an "add row" button or an "advance search" icon to build a search strategy.
• Can't I search all the databases at once? If you want to search everything, the library search box is the best way to get started. It doesn’t search everything in our collections, so you should also use specialized databases. To use specialized databases, consult the research guide for your discipline or look for the list of databases by subject. Each database has different journals and uses metadata such as subject headings and keyword searching differently.
