Using CloudSearch: Home


CloudSearch is a new cutting-edge search tool that is still in development. It is a discovery tool and not really a database at all. Actually, it is an aggregator. It collects/gathers articles from all over the internet.

It has its pros and cons for use. Given its current state, we recommend its use for discovery or explorative types of searches used in higher-level research (graduate and doctoral work). Unless you limit to Open Access, you will likely need to submit an Interlibrary Loan request (24-72 hour fulfillment via email). 

It is important to know that results will have two tabs. It will default to the left tab for books and E-books first. For articles, click the "CloudSearch" tab for articles.
