Millikin Library Discovery: Getting Started

Millikin Library Discovery is a way to discover materials in Staley Library and in I-Share, and it is a way for you to search for articles and more from our library subscription databases.

While it offers access to some of the content of the library's databases, it is not a replacement. You may find it more effective to go directly to a database to find articles or other materials since the databases offer features that are not available in Millikin Library Discovery. You can access all of Staley Library's databases from the Search Databases button on the library's homepage or by going to https://millikin.edu/academics/staley-library/start-your-research/databases

When you perform a search in Millikin Library Discovery you have the following options:

• Search Starter: A good place to start your research. It searches a broad range of our resources: print books, ebooks, some articles, scores, audio, video, and images.
• Library Catalog: Search print and electronic materials (books, audio, video, scores, journals) in Staley Library's collection.
• All I-Share Libraries: Search books, audio, video, scores, and journals owned by I-Share Libraries (90+ academic & research libraries in Illinois).
• WorldCat Catalog: Search library collections at non-I-Share libraries.
• Course Reserves: Search items held on reserve at Staley Library for Millikin courses.
