What is federated searching?
Usually, when you search an article database, you only have access to the publications in that one database. Federated searching lets you choose multiple databases to searched at once. This is very basic searching, since it has to work in multiple databases. For advanced searching, you will need to search the databases one at a time by going to the Databases A-Z page or the Databases by Subject page.
