Power Search is a library-wide discovery tool that queries many academic databases at once, bringing together scholarly articles, eBooks, and other resources in a single set of results. Its main purpose is to broaden discovery and save time by letting you search across multiple databases simultaneously, so you don’t have to search each database separately. It isn’t about scanning popular websites, which would mix sources of varying reliability; it isn’t a citation manager, which organizes references; and exporting results to a spreadsheet is a possible follow-up action, not the primary function of the search tool.
