The easiest way to find and use the multi-database Library search tool is to start on the Library's homepage.
Tip: The Library search includes many, but not all, of our databases at once. See a full list of what databases are included in the Library search.
- On the Library homepage, type one or two of your keyword into the main search box and click the search icon.
- Enter your MyWalden user name and password if prompted. You will be taken to a screen with three search boxes.
- Type your other keywords in the other search boxes to narrow your search.
Search tip: Break your topic down into keywords and type one concept or keyword per box.

- Click Search.
- Once you have search results, use the options in the Refine Results section on the side of the page to limit your search.
Examples: Full Text, Date, or Peer Review.
Search tip: Checking or changing the options will automatically update the search, so you will need to make changes one by one.
NOTE: prior to January 2023 the Library search was named “Thoreau”.
