Discover Advanced is a search tool that pulls many library resources into one single search - it's a good place to start your research. You can use it to find items in the library’s physical book and archival collections as well as digital resources including:

• Books and e-books from the Five College catalog and a wide range of e-book databases
• Articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers, including articles from EBSCO databases*, Alexander Street databases, JSTOR, NewsBank, and many more!
• Online encyclopedias and dictionaries from a variety of academic publishers including Cambridge Companions, Oxford handbooks, and Blackwell Reference Online

What's NOT Included

For a number of reasons, Discover Advanced does not include everything in the libraries' collections.  Only about a third of our databases are included. Databases from ProQuest, many image and streaming video resources, and other discipline-specific databases will need to be searched directly.

Use Search Special Collections for info about searching our archival and primary resource collections.
