What is SuperSearch?

SuperSearch is a portal that provides a single search across the entire library collection. It searches all kinds of resources including journals; newspapers; books and book chapters; reviews; dissertations; electronic resources; and more.

Tips for using SuperSearch can be found on our website or ask for assistance from the Information Desk in any library branch.

In the example below, we are searching for content which includes the terms eco-tourism AND Australia. We used the Content Type filter to refine our search to include only books/ebooks, book chapters and book reviews.

There are many filter options available on SuperSearch, including:

• SCHOLARSHIP: search for material that meets specific criterea (e.g. Full Text Online; Scholarly & Peer Reviewed; Open Access)
• PUBLICATION DATE: search within a specific date range (e.g. enter a custom time frame, use the slider, or select predefined options) 
• DISCIPLINE: search within a specific discipline (e.g. geography; business; ecology)
• SUBJECT TERMS: refine your search by subject area (e.g. tourism; national parks; travel industry)
• LANGUAGE: refine by language of content
• LIBRARY LOCATION: refine by location of content (e.g. a library branch; the Print Repository; our digital collections)
