USearch

USearch pulls together resources from multiple sources and displays them in a single list of relevance-ranked results (much like a Google search).

Because it searches multiple sources, you may see an overwhelming number of results for your initial search. Use the filters on the left side of the results screen to refine your search by peer-reviewed, format, date, available online, etc.

Search results can include both items the library has and items you can request from other libraries through interlibrary loan.
