Discover More

'Discover more' is a powerful but easy-to-use research tool that lets you find relevant academic results from most major databases and publishers. Use Discover More to retrieve articles, books, DVDs, newspaper articles and more, using the same search. Everything is combined into a single database, relevancy ranked against each other and presented in a single list.

 

Discover More delivers search results from:

- ALL of the Library’s EBSCO databases (Academic Search Complete, Cinahl, PsycArticles, etc.)

- Alexander Street Press, Informit (selected collections), JSTOR, Newsbank, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science (with more coming)

- Open access content from arXiv, DOAJ (via Oaister), ECONIS, Manuscriptorium, and more

- Index data from hundreds of key non-EBSCO publishers (via the Foundation Index)

- the Library catalogue and Deakin research material from Deakin Research Online.
