What is OneSearch?
OneSearch is a "Google-like" tool that searches the SMSU Library Catalog (where we tell you what books, videos, ebooks, etc. we own) and most of our library databases (we subscribe to about 60 and they index articles from journals, magazines, newspapers, etc.) all at once.
Why Use OneSearch?
It's a great starting point when you're not familiar with individual databases that are most applicable for your topic. You can start from a basic search box and search across a variety of materials. It's not intended to be the "end all" for research, but rather a place to begin your research process.
Searching OneSearch will bring back all types of resources: articles, journals, books, electronic books, videos, and government documents:
After conducting your search, use the filters on the left to narrow to specific resource types, locations, etc.
