It&#8217;s simply designed to provide a starting point. You can enter any term or phrase in the search box, and the search will return the number of results you will retrieve in a variety of sources. So you will retrieve some recommended databases, results from&nbsp;Academic Search Premier&nbsp;and the library catalog. It also returns links to subject guides that can help you with your research by recommending many other potential sources of information. So Quick Search doesn&#8217;t return actual citations for books and magazines. Rather, it is a starting point and suggests resources for your research. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>We have tried to make it easy to get to the book catalog. There is a link to it under &#8220;Quick Links&#8221; (see Diamond Catalog) and when you use the quick search you automatically get results from the book catalog (see the link under the &#8220;Databases&#8221; category) &#8211; so you don&#8217;t even need to find a link to the catalog.&nbsp; Quick Search already gives you a search result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If you still find Quick Search confusing &#8211; or if there is anything about the new homepage design you&#8217;d like to make a suggestion about&nbsp;&#8211; please follow up with additional comments or suggestions to <a href=\"mailto:bells@temple.edu\">Steven Bell<\/a>, Associate University Librarian.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;QuickSearch&#8221; is confusing.
