What if I only want to search certain databases when I login to SuperSearch? (My Research)

SuperSearch allows you the option of creating your own database list or set, so that when you personally login the databases are already selected.

Create a Personal List (Set) of Databases:

  • Login to SuperSearch using your Stout email username and password.
  • Click on Find Resource from the upper toolbar.
  • Click on a letter or type in a database name to select a database.
  • Select the database(s) by clicking on the Plus icon Plus Icon to add the database to your list.
  • Click on My Research and then My Resources in the upper toolbars.
  • Click on the Create New Set icon Create Folder Icon and a window will appear. Type in a name for the list (set) and description of the set (optional). Click on Save.
  • Click on the Left Arrow icon Left Arrow Icon to move the database into a set on the left of the screen.
  • To save the set, click on the Save As icon Save As Icon.
  • Type in a folder (file) name and click Save. The set of databases will be saved to your personal folder, accessible anytime you are logged onto SuperSearch.
  • To give the set a description, click on the Update icon Update Icon.

View a List (Set):

  • To view a personal list, click on Quick Search from the upper toolbar.
  • All personal lists (sets) will be displayed above the Quick Search sets.
  • Perform a search in your personal list.

Note: Only databases with the Magnifying Glass icon Magnifying Glass Icon can be searched from the Quick Search screen. Databases without the Magnifying Glass icon can only be searched one-at-a-time by going into the native interface (click on the database name).

Delete a List (Set):

  • Click on My Research, then My Resources from the upper toolbars.
  • Select the Set from the pull down menu.
  • Click on the Trash Can icon Trash Can Icon, a window will appear asking if you want to delete the set, click OK.
