The search box is called Quick Search. Quick Search provides the University of New Haven community the ability to search across the majority of the library resources, all with one search box.

This includes but is not limited to:

  • journals 
  • books 
  • e-books 
  • databases
  • government documents
  • course reserves

Quick Search is a discovery service, meaning it should be used to discover information on a topic. Use Quick Search when you're beginning your research and want a wide range of resources, or when you want to narrow down or broaden your topic. You can also use to to locate a specifc book, journal, article, etc if you know the title or the author.

Quick Search should not replace your advanced research on/for a topic. For in-depth research, use the subject specific library databases.
