OneSearch: Step One For Library Research

Your search results will show the following:

• Items (articles, books, streaming media) that match your search terms
• The number of search results retrieved
• Filters to narrow or expand your search, on the lefthand side of the screen
• Where you can find the materials (availability) 
• Each item record allows you to: read, cite, email, save, create a link, export to a citation management tool (e.g, Zotero), or print the item record

The sidebar on the left allows you to further refine your search results by using filters. This is a great place to further narrow your search results to something more specific.

• Sort by: relevance, date-newest, date-oldest, title, author
• Availability: Options for open access, peer-reviewed, etc.
• Resource Type: Magazine, book chapter, audio, video, etc.
• Year Published: Refine results to include only a certain year or set of years (date range)
• Subject: Narrow results to a more specific area of interest, based on your original search terms
• Journal Title: Narrow results to a specific publication
• Author/Creator: Narrow results to a specific person
• Databases: Narrow result to a single database within Oxy's collection
• Location: Use this filter for physical items
• Language: Limit results to English or another specific language
• Library: Describes where the material is located
