Quick sets and 'Find Databases'
You can search the Library's subscribed databases from the 'Articles and Databases' tab in StarPlus. The drop down menu displays a number of subject areas (or 'quick sets') - each of which simultaneously searches a predefined set of databases. See the table below for information on what you are searching.
The 'Find Databases' option allows you to search a custom set of up to ten databases simultaneously. You can also connect directly to databases from 'Find Databases'.
