This document is a guide to the use of Quick Search, a library service that provides access to more than 100 databases which contain references to journal articles and other research materials through two commercial systems--BRS After/Dark and DIALOG's Knowledge Index. The guide is divided into five sections: (1) Using Quick Search; (2) The Databases (choosing an appropriate database); (3) The Basics (search steps and commands); (4) Terms and Connectors (choosing subject search terms; fine tuning your search terms; choosing connectors to link concepts; writing out your search strategy; and using non-subject search terms); and (5) The Search (doing the search and printing results). Four appendixes are provided: Sample Searches; Databases; Command Summaries; and Sources for Further Reading. Quick Search strategy worksheets are included for use while reading the manual. (CGD)
