Students engage in information
searches through Google on a daily basis.
As we work to meet the needs of our students, the library wanted to
adopt a Discovery Service that reflects a similar search experience. This service, called MegaSearch, is one that
many students take advantage of on a daily basis. It feels like a Google search, retrieves many
hits like a Google search, and is easy to use.
Most of our databases and the
library’s catalog can now be searched via this tool. Additionally, hits obtained from a single
search can be filtered through a source selection feature of the service. Are you looking specifically for a reference
source, a magazine, or possibly a newspaper article? If so, select the box on the left side of
your results screen to access this feature!
The MegaSearch box can be found on the
TCTC library’s home page. The address is
http://library.tctc.edu. Good luck!
