Reference this guide to learn how to use ScholarSearch, Drew University Library's discovery service.

Concept Maps

The ScholarSearch Concept Map helps you make connections across related subjects.  By using the Concept Map, you can uncover hidden relationships between concepts and see how topics from different fields are linked together. This makes it easier to do research that crosses different disciplines (also known as "interdisciplinary research"). The Concept Map also helps to improve search queries by adding a semantic layer, allowing you to search using more natural language. This can lead to new insights and discoveries that you may not have come across otherwise. Depending on your preference, you can choose between radial and grid formats, with the grid format offering improved accessibility.
