EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) gives users access to an institution's entire collection (databases at MENDELU) via a single customizable entry point. You can also search and browse full-text databases and popular databases from leading information providers.
EBSCO A-to-Z is a locator tool that helps researchers to discover all of the electronic resources offered at the library quickly and easily discover e-journals and browse publications that are available directly through their library
Booleans Boolean logic defines logical relationships between terms in a search. Boolean search operators are AND, OR, NOT
AND combines search terms so that each search result contains all of the terms. For example, travel and Europe finds articles that contain both travel and Europe. OR combines search terms so that each search result contains at least one of the terms. For example, college or university finds results that contain either college or university. NOT excludes terms so that each search result does not contain any of the terms that follow it. For example, television not cable finds results that contain television but not cable.

Use the wildcard and truncation symbols to create searches where there are unknown characters, multiple spellings or various endings. Neither the wildcard nor the truncation symbol can be used as the first character in a search term.
The wildcard is represented by a question mark? or a pound sign #. To use the? wildcard, enter your search terms and replace each unknown character with a?. Legal Information Reference Center finds all citations of that word with the? replaced by a letter. For example, type ne?t to find all citations containing neat, nest or next. Legal Information Reference Center does not find net because the wildcard replaces a single character.
Truncation is represented by an asterisk (*). To use truncation, enter the root of a search term and replace the ending with an *. Legal Information Reference Center finds all forms of that word. For example, type comput* to find the words computer or computing.
You can use a proximity search to search for two or more words that occur within a specified number of words (or fewer) of each other in the databases. Proximity searching is used with a Keyword or Boolean search. The proximity operators are composed of a letter (N or W) and a number (to specify the number of words). The proximity operator is placed between the words that are to be searched, as follows: Near Operator (N) - N5 finds the words if they are within five words of one another regardless of the order in which they appear. For example, type tax N5 reform to find results that would match tax reform as well as reform of income tax. Within Operator (W) - In the following example, W8 finds the words if they are within eight words of one another and in the order in which you entered them.
