Additional Databases Tab

From the Additional Databases tab, you can go beyond the PowerSearch databases you selected and search within other Gale and even third-party databases. Your results will display in an outline format. You'll be able to perform your next search directly from the Additional Databases tab. Here's how:

1. Perform any of these searches: Basic Search, Subject Guide Search, Advanced Search, CCL Advanced Search or a search from the Search sidebar
2. From the results list, click on the Additional Databases tab
3. The Outline View is displayed
4. The left-hand results pane organizes your results into categories or topics
5. The right-hand pane begins by listing all results found, or you can select a category from the left pane and see only its results in the right pane
6. Click the title of a document in the right pane to open in a new window the full article in its native application or database
7. You can also refine and manage your results and launch a new search

The databases searched on the Additional Databases tab depend on your library's subscription and may include results from Gale collections that are not part of the PowerSearch platform, subscription-based web resources from other publishers (such as EBSCO, ProQuest and Lexis-Nexis), and public free and fee-based websites (such as BBC news feeds, Google, Google Scholar, IEEE, JSTOR, Ovid Web Gateway, Wikipedia, and Yahoo, to name a few).

No matter which search type you originally used, your search terms are treated as keywords when passed to the Additional Databases tab.
