Accessing the New OneSearch system Brochure
This gateway will eventually become our new database interface. OneSearch is a federated or combined database gateway that lets you search databases, our Online Public Access Catalog and selected websites together with one interface. You will still be able to search individual databases separately, and infact, this is advisable if you are searching our medical databases, such as Medline and Cinahl, or a couple of other databases such as Lexis Nexis. One Search can not be used to search non-article databases, such as the Credo Reference Database, Grove Art and Facts and File's Science Database. As of 1/3/08, the Public Access Catalog functionality on OneSearch was not stable, so it would be best to also try searching the PAC alone. The OneSearch A-Z list looks like this.
