Educational Leadership Program (EDL): Introductory Videos for Educational Leadership

Library OneSearch is a search engine that provides simple access to relevant information including scholarly resources at Quinnipiac University through an integrated search of all our databases, e-books, print books, full-text journals and the Quinnipiac Library Catalog.

Library OneSearch

Typing your search in Library OneSearch is as easy to use as 1-2-3:  Search, Sort and See.

Search: Enter search terms into a single search box, or select an Advanced Search option.

Sort: Arrange results by criteria such as date, subject, academic journals and other options.

See: View results, and link directly to full text for more details.

The OneSearch:

• Is the most powerful and comprehensive tool the library offers
• Does not provide content but is an integrative Google-like search engine for libraries that searches books, periodicals, journals and other materials in multiple databases at once
• Does not search 100% of the collection

Consider if the OneSearch is right for your needs by reflecting on the following: 

• What is my existing knowledge about the topic and what types of information will best to fill existing gaps
• Is a comprehensive search tool necessary at this stage in my research process or would a narrower or disciplinary database better suit my needs?
• Do I need to broaden or narrow my search strategy?
• What are the sources requirements for my project?
