Discover offers an integrated Google-style search of many of the Library's article databases, ebooks, the catalogue, Massey Research Online and other resources, instead of searching each resource individually.
While Google focuses on publicly available content, Discover focuses on the Library’s licensed, subscribed, scholarly material, as well as locally-held content.
Discover is a new product and is still under development. You may see changes from time to time, and we'd welcome your feedback and questions to help us as we work with Discover.
