Search smarter, not harder with ‘Ask Anything’

Simply type in your topic or question and let our AI assistant Ask Anything do the heavy lifting. Powered by generative AI, it identifies key concepts such as resource types, dates, languages, and subject areas, then builds a search for you. It even expands your search with related terms, helping you uncover relevant information you might otherwise miss. The result? Less time building searches and more time finding great sources.

New streamlined look, designed for a faster, simpler search experience

Our new streamlined look makes the search process faster, simpler, and less overwhelming: Cleaner display – Enjoy a refreshed search experience with clearer availability information, making it easier to access the resources you need. One-click filters – Key filters are now front and centre, with convenient quick-filter options like Available Online helping you narrow thousands of results with a single click.
