The idea being to search for one topic and get results from Evergreen’s catalog as well as from any databases that the library might have access to and any other resources as configured.  If anyone has done this or would be willing to help point me in the right direction I would love to hear from you.

I don't know of anybody who has built this into Evergreen, but there are several Evergreen libraries that use libre and proprietary discovery solutions such as VuFind, Summon or EDS that sit on top of Evergreen and (potentially) other databases.

There are a number of things on which you could build something, but one thing that has caught my eye is the Drupal module for Masterkey [1].
