What is ScholarSearch?

ScholarSearch is Drew Library's Google-like search of resources—both scholarly and not—available to our users. Unlike a Google search, your results will be reliable, trustworthy sources that you can use for your papers and projects. 

ScholarSearch is a great starting point for your research.  When you use ScholarSearch, you are searching for the many resources that are available at our library. This includes books, e-books, journal and newspaper articles (including peer-reviewed articles), book reviews, encyclopedia articles, government documents, streaming videos, and much more. It searches almost all of our databases at once!

During your research journey, you may encounter the terms "EBSCO Discovery Service" or "EDS." This is what EBSCO calls their product. Here at Drew University, we have customized it to be called "ScholarSearch." So, in short, they're the same thing!

As of July 2024, ScholarSearch has undergone some changes. The new ScholarSearch features many user interface improvements including personalized dashboards, modern result lists, enhanced displays, greater citing and sharing options, and enhanced detailed record and viewer experiences.

This guide will help you navigate the platform. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact a librarian for help! You can email us at reference@drew.edu.
