Stop Searching, Start Finding with New Tool

Today, you can stop searching and start finding the information you seek with OhioLINK's new search tool, Quick Search @ OhioLINK. Quick Search @ OhioLINK provides simple, Google-like searching with reliable, library-quality results that are appropriate for class and research. This search helps you save time by letting you search multiple resources simultaneously and receive results in a unified display. Conduct a Quick Search to search resources in a specific subject or discipline or use the Multi-Database Search option to customize your search.

Try Quick Search @ OhioLINK when:

  • you are working on a class assignment and don’t really know where to begin

Advanced researchers who need the most comprehensive and authoritative results are better served by using the specialized databases in their field. Only a specialized database interface can provide sophisticated tools such as a thesaurus, proximity operators, specialized limits, complex export options, etc.
