700th post

Who would have thought there would be 700 things to say about the View from the Library?

Yet, here we are with our 700th posting with something new about searching in the First Search databases.

There are 9 First Search products in the NMTC portion of GALILEO:
1. ArticleFirst (magazines/journals)
2. ClasePeriodica (CLASE and PERIÓDICA)
3. GPO Monthly Catalog (U.S. government publications)
4. MEDLINE (medical and health sciences) (at FirstSearch)
5. PapersFirst (conference papers)
6. ProceedingsFirst (conference proceedings)
7. World Almanacs Full text of multiple editions including The World Almanac for Kids.
8. WorldCat Catalog of books and other materials held by libraries worldwide.
9. WorldCat Dissertations and Theses Catalog of disserations and theses indexed within the WorldCat database

Most of us don't want to go from database to database which is why GALILEO created the Quick Search box that will search through multiple databases.

First Search offers something similar:

• Open up any of the First Search products
• Select the tab Databases
• Click on up to three (it will only do three at a time) databases
• Select
• Enter your search term(s)
• The results will be in a tab for each database allowing you to go from place to place within the First Search product you selected

That was our 700th post!
