Ways to Search Using Research Pro To search for a topic in more than one subject area, select the categories using the Search by Category section. For example, to search for “arranged marriage” (please enclose a phrase in quotation marks), you will likely get the most relevant results from databases in both the Academic - General, and Social Sciences subject areas. By checking the box beside both the Academic - General, and Social Sciences categories, your term will be simultaneously searched in all the databases listed for these subjects. Alternatively, you can select individual databases from the lists below. To retrieve the full text of an article, click on the article title in the Research Pro results page. Please note that not all articles are available in full text.

Research Pro Basics

• Some AUS databases are not compatible with Research Pro and are therefore not included. For a complete list of AUS databases, see the Databases & Indexes Listed by Subject.

• Some features available within a specific database are not available through the Research Pro interface. It can be helpful to note the databases resulting in the best information for you via Research Pro and then to search these databases individually, from their vendor interfaces.

• Search results may be very large and imprecise if you use common terms in keyword search or if you select an unlimited number of databases to search. Limiting your search to the title field, and to 4 or 5 databases at a time, or to one subject area often results in a more focused retrieval than searching many databases at once.
