Search Multiple Databases

There isn't a tool that searches all available library databases simultaneously, but you can search the databases that K-State subscribes to on the ProQuest or EBSCOhost platforms using the links below. This is a good way to start if your topic is interdisciplinary or you aren't sure which subject-specific database to select.

The ProQuest Multi-Database Search is an especially good starting place for students in the social sciences. It includes databases for psychology, sociology, social services, business, and economics. 

Citation Indexes

Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection are multi-disciplinary citation indexes*. Researchers use them to search across large bodies of scholarly publications.

*Citation indexes are research tools that include bibliographic information (titles, authors, abstracts, keywords, etc.) for scholarly literature but not the full-text.
