Searching and Filtering Results

Filtering Your Results

Since OneSearch retrieves so many sources, you will want to filter your results using the "Refine Your Results" left-sidebar.

  • Filter by Date   Limit results to source published within specific dates
  • Filter by Availability  Here are some of the choices:
    • In person: Materials physically found at the Cabrillo library, ILC, CTC, MLC, etc.
    • Online: Articles, eBooks, etc.
    • Scholarly Journals: Academic journals, peer-reviewed journals
  • Continue filtering to attain a focused set of results. Filtering can narrow a search from thousands of results down to a manageble list. For example, you might experiment with the following:
    • Format (articles, newspapers, books, audio, etc.)
    • Subject
    • Language
