The XtremeSearch information portal allows you to select and simultaneously
search multiple resources (indexes, encyclopedias, research guides, library
catalogs, etc.) using one common search interface.
With XtremeSearch you can:
- Use Quick Search to search five
basic resources at the same time.
- Use Advanced Search to select and simultaneously search up to eight resources you choose.
- Connect to and search each resource using its own full-featured search screen.
- Merge
duplicate records from multiple resources.
- Link
directly to the online fulltext of each record if available.
- Create a custom Personal Resource List
- Establish custom Alerts that will automatically run on our topic.
- Store and manage selected records in your own personal
E-Shelf.
Please refer to the
HELP for more information.
During Fall 2004 XtremeSearch is being upgraded with a new version that will provide a more streamlined interface. In the meantime:
- Some subject categories have little or no resources listed--more are being added.
- Some resources have no checkbox for simultaneous searching--additional resources are being configured for this capability.
- Some resources yield overly large results when searched--existing search configurations are being modified.
