The Search Box helps you find evidence resources with one quick search. You'll find it on the right-hand side, near the top of the page. You can also try it below:
Advanced Search | Searching from Home
The Search Box will find almost all of the journal articles that we subscribe to, along with the ebooks and print books held within our collection. Additional resources like technical standards (e.g. CSA) can also be found by searching this way. It's a great place to get started on a research topic.
Tips for searching:
As you can see, the Search Box will look in almost all of our online resources, as well as our print book collection. It is worth noting that it doesn't search in our Point of Care resources, like Dynamed or Lippincott Advisor, for example.
Here are some examples of when it's best to use the search box and when it's best to use other resources.
Enter one or two words that describe your topic for a quick way to pull some of the latest evidence on a topic.
Copy and paste the full article title into Summon with quotations to see if we currently subscribe to that article. If no matches are found, we can order it in for you when you put in an article request.
