What is the Library search?

The Library search is a multi-database search tool developed for the Walden University Library.

The multi-database search tool searches much of the Library's collection, but not everything. Not all databases or all Library content is searchable through the multi-database search due to publishers' licensing and copyright restrictions.

It is a useful search tool for quick, simple, or broad searches.

NOTE:  prior to January 2023 the Library search was named “Thoreau”.
