Using One Search

Basics

You can access databases from the “One Search” from the library homepage, or any other place links or search boxes are made available.

One Search is a discovery service which combines the library catalog with most of our database content, plus other library content to give you a more simple yet complete search experience. 

Filtering your search results

Your can filter your search results by checking off categories on the left sidebar of your search results screen. For example, you can limit by date or date range, specific subject or material type.

Accessing content shown in “One Search”

When you find a result you would like to see, take a look at your presentation options. If it say’s “Full Text HTML” or “PDF”, you can just click on those and access the item right away. You will also see a “Find It” button. Use that if the item is not available in Full Text HTML or PDF.

“Find It” will help you locate the item. If it we have it in more than one format, links will be shown to other formats or you may be taken to a publisher site. If we don’t have the item here, you will be offered the opportunity to have it sent by Interlibrary Loan.
