You can search for information using the library's databases. For a quick, easy search of most of the library's databases, you can use the QuickSearch bar on the library's home page. For information on how to use QuickSearch, see the "Using QuickSearch" box below.
You can also do a more targeted search in a database specific to your topic by selecting the databases page from the left side of the menu on the library's website.
Before you start searching through the library's databases, it can be helpful to think through your search and create a search strategy. The box below on this page contains a link to the library's search strategy worksheet which you can use to develop your search strategy and more effectively search through the library's databases.
Want to be more strategic when searching for articles, books, etc.? Use our Search Strategy Worksheet to help you develop keywords, narrower and broader searches, and track your searches.
QuickSearch is an easy-to-use search box on the library's home page. Franklin University students and staff can use QuckSearch to search much of the library's collection of articles, books, ebooks, videos, reports, and more in one simple search, so you don't have to go to individual databases to search for information.For more information about QuickSearch:
The Franklin University's QuickSearch toolbar includes an AI Research Assistant, called "Primo Research Assistant." If you are only using the AI assistant as a search tool, this should not cause any issue with the Franklin University AI policy.
On the QuickSearch results screen, look for the "AI Search" button on the right side of the screen. Click on the button to open the AI Research Assistant.
You can enter your research question or click on the open in new window button to open the research assistant. Opening the research assistant in a new window will give you the opportunity to filter your search by type of resource used, date, and whether it is available through the library ("available online"). To apply any of these filters, click on the 3 lines in the search box before entering your question.
You can enter your topic using natural language and the research assistant will use AI to convert your topic to a search of library resources. The AI Research Assistant will return a summary of the 5 most relevant search results, and a link to see additional results.
