QuickSearch is the search engine for the library catalog, which contains physical and digital resources like books, articles, videos, and much more. 

Here are some tips for using QuickSearch or searching other library databases:

• Use AND to combine your concepts, e.g., child abuse AND alcohol (AND must be in caps)
• Use OR to combine synonyms, related terms, e.g., domestic violence OR family violence (OR must be in caps)
• Parentheses allow complex queries to be layered, e.g., child abuse AND (alcohol OR substance abuse)
• Use the * (asterik)  to search for the root word and any ending, e.g., parent* will retrieve parent, parents, parenthood, parenting.
• To search for an exact phrase, place the phrase in quotation marks, e.g., "attachment theory"
• On  the results list page, on the left-hand side, choose under LIMIT TO "peer-reviewed journals"  and under  RESOURCE TYPE choose  " Articles"
• Use Advanced Search to limit your search to specific fields, like title, author, or subject  (select Articles from Resource type on the right).
