What is Quest?

Quest is a new search tool that allows users to find print and online resources at UMW Libraries through a single interface. A search in Quest will locate books, e-books, articles from journals/magazines/newspapers, DVDs, and much more. Instead of performing multiple searches in the catalog and different databases, users can now locate books and articles, all with just one search.
