Can I Search More Than One Library Database at a Time?

On this page you will learn: How to use our multi database search tool called "OneSearch" to find a paper or eBook.

Gaming the System

Your library purchases individual databases of articles, images and films. Each individual database has a specialty curricular area such as science or fashion. You can search these databases one by one and get a number of very specific results or you can use a tool that will search many databases at one time like "OneSearch". There are still times when you will definitely want to go to individual databases but a group search like "OneSearch" is a great place to start.

Using OneSearch to Find a Book

Have you ever gotten 5 million results from a Google search? That can happen in OneSearch as well. The video below will show you some tips and tricks for using the OneSearch box so you can get less results that are more specific to your topic.
