You use go by typing go.brandeis.edu/(search term) in your web browser or by entering your term in the GO Box the top of this page or from the box on the Brandeis Homepage.

The Brandeis GO function works very similarly to the AOL and web browser KEYWORD functions. The idea is that you put in a keyword, or shortened version of what you are looking for and we try and find it for you. For example: if you were looking for American Studies, you would enter american or amstd, and GO would bring you to the American Studies website.
For better results try using shorter searches, acronyms, or nicknames.
IE. provost for Office of the Provost, summer for Summer School, nejs for Near Eastern and Judaic Studies
