SuperSearch: Introduction

SuperSearch is a tool allowing you to search all library resources in one search box. This guide explains how you can use SuperSearch effectively.

Why use SuperSearch?

SuperSearch provides a single search box for you to quickly and easily:

  • find items on the shelf such as books, DVD's, journals etc.
  • find and view ebooks, journal articles, and more
  • limit your resources to online resources or resources held in the library
  • save content to your personal folder

What Am I Searching?

Library Catalogue

  • To limit results to Library items only, select CRT Library in the search box drop down menu before running a search.
  • Items that the library holds will have either a location and call number information, or a link to the full text online version.

Databases

  • These are subscribed to by the Library and the majority are accessible in SuperSearch. These include Ebscohost, ProQuest and ScienceDirect.
    • Databases that are not included in the search results include: Australian Standards, SafetyHub, Anatomy TV, JBI, Kanopy, MIMS Online and UptoDate.
  • To limit results to online articles only, select Articles in the search box drop down menu before running a search.
