PurpleSearch is a search engine that trawls through 100 academic literature databases at once.
Thanks to its clever search techniques, PurpleSearch can display search results from the most relevant databases for your subject.
PurpleSearch is a handy tool for those just orientating themselves in a subject – they don’t have to make immediate use of the extensive search options of the various literature databases.
