OneSearch
Subject databases can be searched individually or all at once. To search across subject databases all at once, use OneSearch. OneSearch is a tool that allows you to search most of the Library’s databases, ebooks and selected free web sources, at the same time.
Using OneSearch is convenient, but like Google, it can be overwhelming at first. You will need to sort through, filter, and edit your results to find information relevant to the topic you are researching.
While most of the subject databases are included in OneSearch, a few -- such as CountryWatch -- are not.
Searching OneSearch & Subject Databases
Use your keywords and advanced searching to search for articles on your research topic in the subject databases, OneSearch, or both!
