Discovery Searching

 

Find books, articles, and more using our Discovery search!

Discovery's Advanced Search allows you to search by author, title, a keyword for print or eBooks

You can also search for journal articles, videos, and other materials using Discovery Search.

View the short tutorials linked below to understand how to use our new Discovery Search

Print Books

Find all books using  Discovery, our online catalog located on the library website.

  • Discovery is most useful for simple author/title searches or focused searches by keyword.
  • Use the limit menu on the left side of the result page to narrow results to:
  • Trevecca library
  • Either print books or eBooks
  • Can also fliter (limit) by author or date of publication
  • Almost all of our print books can be found on the second floor of Waggoner Library.

Print books can be mailed to distance students if needed. Contact library@trevecca.edu for more information about this process.

What if we don't have what you need?

  • You can use our free Interlibrary Loan service to borrow books and articles from other libraries.

eBook Tips & Use

Waggoner eBook collections integrate over 200,000 full text eBooks into our library catalog!

  • After you search Discovery and view your result list, you'll know it's an eBook by the description stating eBook.
  • Use the Discovery search filters to limit results to Trevecca eBooks. Filters are on the left menu of the result list.
  • Click the Access Online button to open the book.

Download is how to check out

Waggoner eBook collections have options for the book to be checked out to an eReader (downloaded), or print book chapters or read it online.

NEVER download a library eBook for a class assignment unless you see that it has 'UNLIMITED USE'!

If you don't see that information you need to assume the title has LIMITED use. This means once it has been downloaded it is NO LONGER viewable online - prohibiting anyone else in your class use of the book.

To complete your assignment you can create a PDF for a page range and email that to yourself. Federal copyright law has a limit of 60 pp but some publishers (Baker Books) have a limit of 12 pp at one time. You can log in again to retrieve additional pages.

Internet browsers do make a difference.

FireFox users may need to adjust the browser settings to open PDFs within the browser. To adjust the Firefox browser settings:

  • Select Options from the Tools menu in Firefox
  • Select Applications in the resulting Options window
  • Click Portable Document Format in the Content Type column
  • Select Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) in the drop-down menu to the right of Portable Document Format
  • Click OK if you have the option, otherwise close the box

Discovery Search can be a great place to begin to look for journal articles.
