UW Library and Musagetes Library have added a "Journal Article" search box underneath the TRELLIS search on their homepages.
Keywords are searched across multiple databases covering various disciplines. Basically, it's a quick and dirty search for people who may not know which topic-specific databases to use for their research.
Architecture students and faculty should be aware that you will be seeing citations to articles from non-architecture journals, as well as the usual suspects like Blueprint and Architectural Record. The upside is that many of these articles will be available to read immediately by clicking "Get it @ UW".
As an example, a search of "David Adjaye" results in 160 citations using the new search box. The most recent article is dated February 2007. The same search in the Avery Index returns 33 citations, the most recent being November 2006.
Give it a try and let us know what you think!
