Eagle Search offers several options for the groups of information sources, or search scopes, you can choose from. These options include Library Catalog, Everything, Statewide Catalog, Articles and more, and Course Reserves. These can be seen as you begin to type search word(s) and they can be seen to the right of your search in a drop-down menu.

  • Everything includes the complete collection of library materials including physical books and journals, media, other physical items, eBooks and eJournals, streaming video, other electronic materials, and articles. Specialized reports and information sources from databases may not show up in here, however.
  • Library Catalog includes materials your library owns like books, journals, other physical items that are in the library, and selected electronic materials. This is where you would search for print items.
  • Articles and more includes online articles and other electronic content and does not include print books. 
  • Statewide catalog includes the holdings of all 40 Florida public colleges and universities.
  • Course reserves includes everything your institution has placed on course reserves.  

You can always choose to search "Everything" and use the facets and limiters that appear after you search to narrow down your results. If you know you are interested in print books, search in Library Catalog.
