How do I quickly search through databases in MackinVIA to find articles or titles on a specific topic?
Searching through participating databases is easy with Deep Discovery Search.
To begin your Deep Discovery Search, select Databases on the left-hand menu.
[1]
Then, enter your topic in the search box. In this example, the search topic is “Bunker Hill”.
[2]
MackinVIA will display how many articles or titles are found for that topic in each of the participating databases.
Select Show Results to view a list of all of the articles or titles that match your search topic within that database.
[3]
Finally, select the article or title to be brought to the full text of that article within the database. Please Note: some databases will require you to login before you can access that article.
[4]
Selecting Open Now will bring you to the database’s home page where you can start a new search if desired.
If a database does not have any resources on a topic it will show Found 0. If you would like to go directly to the database to search, click on Open Now.
