The TCU Library's new FrogScholar search, now powered by a product called Primo, will find not only find materials available in the library building, but also e-materials like online articles from databases. Recommended "Material Type" selections for focusing search results are Articles (journals - not Magazine articles), Book Chapters, Books, Dissertations/Theses, and Conference Proceedings; Video may also be useful Where available, selecting "Dance" or other terms under "Subjects" may be helpful, though not as expansive as the previous FrogScholar's discipline category.

FrogScholar via Summon has been a great tool. Though it is no longer receiving new catalog materials records or holdings changes, this familiar FrogScholar will, at least for a time, find not only find materials available in the library building, but also e-materials like online articles from databases. It is still referenced from the library's electronic journals page for the time being. Recommended Content Type selections for the average search are Book/ebook; Book chapter; Journal article; Dissertation/thesis; and Conference proceeding. "Video" may also be helpful. And often, the Dance selection under "Discipline." (An additional helpful hint is below the image.)
Note 12/2021: in the new version of FrogScholar (Summon), there is a screen refresh after every Content Type addition. To expedite this process, add the following phrase at the end of the url (web address) at the top of the screen after you have done your initial search - before selecting "dance" as Discipline or selecting a subject heading. (You won't need to do this if you use the FrogScholar "dance" search box in the right column, where these formats are pre-selected.)
At library.tcu.edu - it's the search box. For best results, after clicking "search," be sure to sign in at the upper right using your TCU login. (For the previous version of FrogScholar, scroll down.)
