OneSearch is the search tool for the Library designed to be nearly all-encompassing with our scholarly resources. The results include books, ebooks, articles, videos, and more. OneSearch is the main search bar found on the Oxy Library homepage!
OneSearch integrates your search terms all into one search box so you can have confidence that your initial search covers a wide amount of digital ground.
As the graphic to the right indicates, no single search engine is going to be entirely comprehensive, and there might be circumstances in which you should go to individual databases.
Think of OneSearch as Step One in your searching experience!
In addition to being a broader search experience, OneSearch also provides a sophisticated approach to relevancy ranking, displaying results in an order to help you locate what you need quickly and efficiently. Please use this guide as a companion while you explore OneSearch.
