OneSearch at a Glance

By Kim Rollins, Reference/Instruction Librarian


You’ve likely heard about or tried the new OneSearch tool that provides you with access to UVU Library’s entire collection via a single, customizable entry point. However, to get more controlled results you can take advantage of all of the available search modes, limiters, and expanders within the research tool. For example, from the home screen you can check the Library Catalog Only limiter to limit results to only those items available from UVU Library’s catalog or the Available in Library
Collection limiter (which restricts results to items from our online databases, e-journal vendors, institutional repositories, and content physically available in the Library).

You can still search specific databases using the Articles tab to find our databases by subject lists and the complete list of databases. You can also search for items in the Library’s book, media, and map collections by clicking on the Books and Media tab.
