What is UQuicksearch?
UQuicksearch is really two search engines in one. Firstly, it offers a new way of searching UQ Library catalogue.
Secondly, it offers the option to broaden your search to selected fulltext databases and search engines, all at the same time.
 
What resources are being searched?
If you don't like the Library's selection of resources and you are a UQ student or staff, you can select your own group of databases to search as part of Articles and More.
For more information, contact your liaison librarian.
 
  • Type your keywords in the search box, then hit the Enter key or the Search button
  • Results from the catalogue are presented in column 2
  • Refine/narrow the results by:
    • Format, location, collection, publication date, language, etc., in column 1
    • Tag cloud [subject/topic] in column 3
    • You can select multiple options to further reduce the results
  • If you can't find anything useful in the catalogue, broaden your search by clicking on More resources under Articles and more in column 3.
  • Click on the link to select a specific database
  • The selected database results are displayed in column 2
  • To change databases, click on the tab in column 1
