OneSearch Tools
OneSearch offers tools that will help you stay organized and on track with your research needs. Below are some tips on how to filter your results so that you can focus on what you need and weed out the rest.
Books and eBooks
Now that you’ve found a source that’s perfect for your assignment, click on the title to learn more about it. If the book is available in print, you will find the Call Number directly below the title of the book. If the book is available online, scroll down to View Online and click on the Full Text Availability link to open the eBook. If you haven't already signed in to OneSearch, you will be asked to login with your Student ID and password before you can access online sources.
Articles
If the source is an article, you will see which databases offer the full-text article. Select one of the databases listed to open the article.
Additional Tools
Under the Send to heading, you will see options for CITATION, PERMALINK, and EMAIL.
- CITATION: Brings up a list of the most popular citation styles. Find the style that’s required for your course and copy/paste the citation into your bibliography (don’t forget to check the citation against a style guide to make sure the robot citation generator got it right).
- PERMALINK: This allows you to copy and paste a persistent link or permalink back to the source so you don’t have to go hunting for it again. NOTE: This link is to the record of the source, not to the actual book or article.
- EMAIL: This is the most useful tool because you can email all the important stuff to any email address. This email will include a persistent link or permalink back to the source in OneSearch so you don’t have to go hunting for it again. Once you are back in OneSearch, you can access the full-text of the source and create a citation.
