What is OneSearch?

OneSearch is a tool that allows you to search many of the Library’s databases, books, and selected free web sources, at the same time.

Why use OneSearch?

OneSearch works well when you want to access a wide variety of sources at once, and is a good tool when starting your research. Be prepared to use the "Refine Your Results" feature on the left to focus the large results list.

When to Use OneSearch

Using OneSearch is convenient, but like Google, rather overwhelming at first. You will need to sort through, limit, and edit your results to understand what, where, and how relevant your sources are.

SuperSearch has icons to indicate the different source types. Look for these to the left of your search results.

Here are the types of sources you could retrieve in a single search:

Print Book
eBook
Scholarly (Peer-Reviewed) Article
Newspaper Article
Magazine Article
Conference Materials
Trade Publication
Book Review
Primary Source Document
Report
Video
Audio
