SearchAll - the library's new discovery tool

Howard-Tilton Memorial Library introduces a new search feature that allows users to search many of the library’s resources simultaneously in a single search box.  SearchAll provides a direct means of discovery for millions of books, journal articles, sound recordings, video recordings, archival finding aids, images, and much more.  It takes the form of a simple search box prominently placed on the library home page alongside traditional search options such as the library’s online Catalog, Articles, and Databases (see http://library.tulane.edu/). 

For more information, please see the library website.  Over the course of the fall semester, the library will be offering formal training sessions for faculty as well as walk-in sessions. The formalized sessions will review the basic and more advanced features of SearchAll while the walk-in sessions will be tailored to address specific questions and information needs.  SearchAll has its own online help screens embedded within its software.   For more help at Howard-Tilton Memorial Library see http://library.tulane.edu/research/res_help  or call (504) 865-5606.
