What is Research Pro?

Research Pro is a federated search engine that simultaneously searches multiple databases and combines the results.

Warning!
Research Pro is a good tool to help you get started, experienced researches will achieve better results using the individual databases directly.

  • Not all databases are searchable with Research Pro. For a complete list of AUS databases, see the Databases & Indexes Listed by Subject.

  • Special features available in some database are not available through Research Pro. Note which databases give the best results via Research Pro and then search those databases directly.

  • Login with MyLibraryRecord / AUS userid required off-campus.

Search Tips
Search results can be numerous and imprecise, try the following for better results:

  • Use more specific search terms
  • Limit your search to the title field
  • Search fewer databases at a time
  • Search a more relevant set of databases using options in advanced search
  • Browse results from all databases searched by clicking the different tabs on the left (see red arrows below)
