GALILEO Quick Search

If you've logged in to GALILEO in the past day or so you may have noticed a big change! Instead of seeing the Academic Search Premier database on the front page, you are now looking at GALILEO Quick Search. The Quick Search allows you to search multiple databases by subject areas and see selected results from all of them in the same list. You can also choose to view all of the results in each database.

Take a look at the About GALILEO Quick Search page to find out more information. Or ask at the reference desk!

Of course you can still search GALILEO databases one at a time and if you miss Academic Search Premier, it is in most of the Quick Search subject options and is also accessible to serarch in most subject folders.
