OneSearch is a great way to quickly see what kinds of articles the library has on your topic. It's almost like Google for the library- a bunch of different things we have in one big list!

Search tips:

• Use the filters on the left side to narrow down your results.
  
• To find only peer-reviewed academic journal articles, use the "Peer-reviewed Journals" limiter
• To find only a certain type of resource (books, videos, articles, etc.) use the "Resource Type" limiter
• To find only physical items in the library, use the "Held by library" limiter
• To find only items available online, use the"Available Online" limiter
• Try lots of different searches. For example, if you're looking for articles about race and healthcare, try "Race AND Healthcare" for your first search, then try "Healthcare disparities AND Race" for your next search, then try "Racism in health" for your next search, etc...

Can't Find What You Need?

OneSearch includes all items in the library catalog (i.e. books and ebooks), however not all databases are included. This means that some subject-specific databases or journals may not be searchable via OneSearch. Try searching in the library's databases directly to find more results!

We need your help! Fill out the survey to tell us what you think:

A permalink is a permanent link to a record or item in the library's collections. This link is stable- it will always lead you back to the right page!
