NOTE: NOTE: Many of these databases can be searched simultaneously, as they are all EBSCO products. When you click on an EBSCO database, you will see a blue and green interface with the word EBSCO Host in the top left corner. To simultaneously search EBSCO databases, look for the box, below the search interface, that says "in:". You should see the name of the database you chose to search in this box, but you will notice that this box has a pull-down menu attached to it. Simply open that menu, and (1) scroll until you see the name of the second, third, etc. database(s) you want to search, (2) put a check in thebox that is next to that database, and (3) click "Submit". You will know you have done this correctly when you see the phrase Specific Databases in the box that has "in:" next to it, and below this you see the names of all the databases you wish to search listed. You will then see that you are searching multiple databases at one time.

Ellender Memorial Library's Online Public Access Catalog is called iLink. To search for books, videos, periodicals, etc., simply click on the link from the library's homepage. You may click on either iLink or on the iLink Power Search. The simple search allows you to search by author, title, keyword, subject, or periodical title.
