Ask Mac - Get Advice

Hey, Mac:

I was trying to do some research over break. I kept getting sent to something called SearchSpot. What is this, and will it make things easier or harder for me?

Sincerely, Seeing Spots


Dear Spots:

SearchSpot is an amazing new tool that is making our library an easier place to navigate. It allows you to search multiple databases, the library catalog, websites and more. You can create your own unique list of up to 8 resources to search simultaneously, or use the categories that the library has already created to search by discipline. If you enjoy seeing all your results in one place, you'll love SearchSpot. As if SearchSpot wasn't working hard enough already, it allows you to save your results, and to refine the results that you've already found. SearchSpot will allow you to look in databases that you hadn't thought to try, without taking any more of your precious time. You can use SearchSpot from the library homepage, simply by clicking on me.

Have fun searching!
