"Everything" Search - the search box on Gutman Library's home page
When you're starting your research, an excellent first step is to check our catalog. Searching "Everything" means searching for any source type (articles, books, ebooks, videos, conference proceedings, and more) across many of our 225+ subscription databases at once.
You cannot ask our catalog a question, so brainstorm for keywords first then consider trying a Boolean logic search with AND, OR, or NOT.
| Boolean Operator | Search Example | How does it work? |
| AND | hospital AND "biophilic design" |
AND narrows a search by retrieving sources with all your terms Putting terms in quotation marks retrieves sources with that exact phrase |
| OR | "high-rise building" OR skyscraper | OR broadens a search by finding sources with either term (great for synonyms or alternate spellings) |
| NOT | "gothic architecture" NOT cathedral | NOT narrows a search by excluding sources with an unwanted term |
Put it all together, and you get searches like:
