Research Resources

Discovery Service
The Discovery Service on the CofC Libraries homepage is a great place to start your research. It helps you quickly find relevant resources on a subject, without having to decide which database(s) to search. The facets allow you to limit your search results in a variety of ways, including date range, source type, subject, and scholarly designation. The library's catalogued resources are also integrated into the search results.
CofC Libraries Classic Catalog
The Classic Catalog allows precision searching of CofC Libraries' and South Carolina Historical Society holdings.
Databases
To take advantage of specialized search tools, including the subject thesaurus or unique limiters, you may choose to search a specific subject relevant database. For example, Business Source Complete, PsycINFO, and Medline have powerful features only available in their unique interfaces.
