OneSearch Help

Available in Library Collection is automatically applied to each search unless the user removes it. This should limit to items you can access either online or in print through our library. The system is not perfect; you may still get some false hits.

Full text is virtually identical to Available in Library Collection but sometimes misses print items.

Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals returns scholarly content, including original research studies.

Publication Date lets you set the date range you wish to work with. Change the dates with the sliders or edit the date boxes.

All Results is the default. Your search will automatically display all source types in one list.

Academic Journals include the peer reviewed journals along with some others. This is a good way to pick up some scholarly material that may be peer reviewed but is not recognized as such by OneSearch.

Books include both print and ebooks. This may include individual book chapters or reference book entries.

Show More displays all the different source types in your results. It could include less common types like  films or images.

Subject displays all the assigned subject headings from your search results. You can select one or more to apply to your current search.

Language is helpful if you find a number of articles that are in a foreign language.

Location is great if you find books or DVDs from our library catalog. You can limit to just those items that are physically available at the SU Library. However, don't forget you can have books brought from our partner libraries to SU via our courier service. Ask a librarian (in person or using AskUs) how to do this.

Content Provider lists the databases where the records originated. So, if you wanted to see what came from Medline, you could limit to those items.
