Example of a Multi-Database EBSCO Search

Example of searching two EBSCO databases for a topic:

General topic: Careers in subjects such as Sociology

  • EBSCO database search in the following two databases: SocINDEX with Full Text (from EBSCO) which contains scholarly, peer-reviewed articles, and  Vocational and Career Collection which is useful for career exploration but not so useful to scholarly articles.

    • Note: You can remove or add databases with the "Choose Databases" link next to your search box. 
  • Search terms Sociologists AND Career Development
  • Limited for Full Text & Scholarly (Peer Reviewed)
  • Page View Detailed

Usually two is plenty, but sometimes you still have thousands of results. Want to limit further, try another variable. Perhaps try United States, or Texas -- what did you see?  What happens if you add databases?
