These two tiles on the library's homepage open up searches with expanded scopes.  "Articles & More" searches for articles from multiple databases simultaneously. "Everything" combines this search with resources from the Library Catalog as well.

Additional search tips:

• The basic search assumes that you are searching for all the words you type unless OR or NOT is specified between the words and phrases.
• For an exact phrase search, surround your terms in quotation marks, e.g., "United States of America" (~8,000 matches) rather than United States of America (~36,000 matches). Alternatively, click the dropdown menu and change it from Keywords anywhere to Exact phrase for the same effect.
