<\/a>1. Enter your search terms<\/strong><\/p>\n Search for resources by author, title, subjects, or keywords using the search box on the Library homepage or the main OneSearch page. If you start on the main OneSearch page, you will see a dropdown showing options to search more specific collections in the library. Note: Library Catalog searches physical items in the Library’s collection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 2. Refine your results using the facets on the left<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n By default, OneSearch shows you all resources, whether we have access to them or not. This gives you the option to request items we don’t have through your interlibrary loan account. If you only want to see resources we subscribe to, uncheck the “Expand My Results” checkbox above the search limiters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.

Alumni can search OneSearch but cannot access subscribed resources online.<\/span><\/p>\n OneSearch provides a single point of entry to the physical and electronic materials that the Library provides access to for your research needs. When you search OneSearch, you search our physical catalog (books, DVDs, theses, physical journals and magazines, course reserves, etc.) and our electronic holdings (e-journals and magazines, electronic reference collections, etc.). However, OneSearch is not always the best place to start if you are looking for resources in specialized databases (see next question).<\/span><\/p>\n OneSearch is a great starting point but it is sometimes best to use the use the native interfaces to search specialized databases and collections. The nature of these collections make them difficult to search using OneSearch. Here is a summary of collections that are best searched in their native platform. You can find links to these collections on the <\/span>Databases<\/span><\/i> tab of the <\/span>library homepage<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Subject-specific Collections<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Streaming video collections<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Newspaper collections<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n To search for articles, enter your search terms, such as a subject or author, in the OneSearch bar. From here you use the limiters on the left to choose \u201cPeer-reviewed journals\u201d from the Availability section. You can also use the Resource Type menu to select a more specific type of article, such as newspaper articles or reference works.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”I don\u2019t think Eckerd has what I need.

This adds items that the library does not have access to in your search. You can then request items using the \u201cCheck availability\u201d link under the item record to see borrowing options through interlibrary loan.

Clicking this will bring up the citation in a number of styles, including APA, MLA, Chicago, ASA, and CSE. You can copy and paste this article for your records but be sure to verify citations as they may not always be perfect.

<\/a>Since OneSearch looks for records in almost<\/em> all of the Library databases, it can return a lot of results. To make these more manageable and relevant to your needs, use the search limiters on the left (under Tweak your results<\/em>) to refine your search by type of resource, subject, time period (date), location in the library, or by a specific database.<\/p>\n\n
