Basic searching is exactly that. We seek information on a topic of interest. It could be pet insurance for your dog or cat, a Thanksgiving recipe, a museum in Washington, D.C., or the latest Nintendo Switch video game.
There is nothing complicated about basic searching. Go to your favorite search engine with whatever! Or, ask Siri or Google a question on your smartphone or other smart device.
The same technique here applies to the library's databases and catalog, too!
Follow this example for finding resources in EBSCOhost, a popular Lindsey Wilson Library database.
EITHER search for "Lindsey Wilson Research Guides" in Google OR go to www.lindsey.edu/library and select LWC Research Guides [the link with a magnifying glass icon]. Select Go to A-Z databases on the far right side of the browser.
EITHER search for "Lindsey Wilson databases" in Google OR go to www.lindsey.edu/library and select A-Z Databases from the Library Collections menu.
Select EBSCOhost from the database listing. You may see a blue login screen open in a new browser tab. EBSCOhost requires every LWC student, faculty, and staff to sign in with their myLWC email and password because this resource is only available to those affiliated with LWC. [Fact: Your tuition allows us to provide this resource to you.]
After you log in, select EBSCOhost Web [the first option on this page].
Imagine EBSCOhost as an Amazon interface. We can search for anything and everything on it. On this page, checkmark the box to Select / deselect all of the databases.
Enter your keywords, phrase, or question in the search bar and start exploring!
The same steps apply to every Library Database and the Library Catalog!
