Searching Discover

Folders are no longer offered in Discover; however, articles and other items that were saved to your account will still be accessible to you by navigating to the Saved area on the left of the screen under Dashboard. Sign in to your account in the top right by clicking MyEBSCO.

Sometimes you want to find research from a specific area or country. You can do this a couple of ways.

Method 1: Keywords.

In the advanced search, you can add the location you would like the research to be from as a keyword. 

In the example, "United States" OR America was added as a keyword. This will find articles that mention either term anywhere in the article.

Note: While this may help filter results, you will still want to read over the article to make sure that's where the research is taking place. The location you enter as the keyword may be mentioned for another reason, but the database will still show it as a result.

Method 2: Geography Filter

After searching for your topic, you can apply a geographic filter to limit your search to specific locations.

Once you've searched your topic, select the "All filters" button directly under the search bar. In the list to the right, find the "Geography" section and select the locations you want the articles to be from. Click "Apply" once you have made your selection. 

Note: The results shown depend on whether the article has a location listed. If there is not a location listed for the article, even if it did take place in the location you selected, the article won't appear in the search results. This means you may miss out on relevant articles by using the Geography Filter.
