Discovering content in the institutional repository can be done in a variety of ways. Perhaps the easiest is to use the search interface in the institutional repository itself. You will note that the search interface defaults to George Washington University, but you can use the drop-down menu from the "In" menu to choose "All Research Commons" to search for a term or terms in all collections from all of the WRLC member libraries or to limit the search to a specific collection, community, or sub-community.
