Libraries OneSearch Authentication Required This database is enhanced by Find It: the University Libraries Linking Service.
Libraries OneSearch is a powerful new tool for searching across multiple library databases simultaneously. It saves you the time you would have previously spent searching each database separately. For example, you can look for articles and books in Academic Search Premier, PsycInfo, and MNCAT all at the same time rather than having to search each resource individually. It also links you directly to the full text of the article, if available via a library subscription. If unavailable locally, OneSearch allows you to easily submit an Interlibrary Loan request so that the Libraries obtain a copy for you from another institution. OneSearch also allows you to create a personal collection of favorite records, databases, e-journals, and search strategies for future use, and to set up email alerts so you can find out when new content has been added to any of them. See the answers to "How do I e-mail/save a group of records?" and "What is My Space?" for more.
