New OneSearch Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Onesearch

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

Is the OneSearch right for my needs?

  • 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?
