OneSearch
OneSearch is Tutt Library's single search across our library catalog and most of our article databases.
Search Tips
- After entering keywords you can use the limiters on the left side of the screen to refine your results by publication year, type of source, language, etc.
- You can limit to only books, videos, and similar items by selecting "Catalog Only"
- Records for individual articles will often have links to full text, and to tools that help you cite and save citations.
- OneSearch is a great place to start research, but you might find that subject-specific databases give additional results or more precise results.
