Somerset County Library System patrons can turn a simple search into research with the library's new federated search engine, called Research Pro. A federated search allows library card holders to search magazines, journals, books, e-books, audio e-books, the library's catalog, the internet and more all on one site. This is one stop shopping research!
This fast and effective tool offers a way to find multiple resources, without needing to guess which databases to search. Students, professionals and consumers will be pleased to have easier access to about 30 resources that can be searched simultaneously, making the research process both more reliable and much faster.
Research Pro may be accessed directly from the Library's main catalog at http://catalog.somerset.lib.nj.us/search . A valid Somerset County Library System card and PIN number is required to use this service. A help button is available on the Research Pro screen.
