What's NOT included in UDiscover?
While UDiscover indexes many of the libraries' subscribed databases, it does not cover all of them. Here is a list of databases that are not included in UDiscover.
Although these databases may not be indexed, EBSCO does have some partnerships at the journal publisher level, so some records indexed in those databases could still show in UDiscover search results and would be linked through the "Find It!" button.
You should search these databases individually in order to access their content. If you are off-campus, you will need to enter your UD username and password to connect.
