What is included in the 'OneSearch' Option?
- The 'OneSearch' box is the first option under 'Search Library Resources,' on the Mildred F. Sawyer Library home page.
- The 'OneSearch' feature, also called the 'Discovery Service,' searches across multiple article databases and the Library Catalog simultaneously.
- The results intermingle all varieties of content, regardless of the format: print books, e-books, articles (online), and streaming videos.
- This enables users to cast a very wide net to identify articles, books, e-books, and streaming videos in a single search.

OneSearch's Advantages
- Nearly every imaginable search will generate results.
- Since multiple disciplines are represented by the underlying databases, users may find articles from sources that might not have been encountered otherwise.
Limit and Sort Results
Search results can list hundreds of thousands of articles and books.
- Users should use the limit options as a means of exploring the content, rather than exclusively relying on the relevancy algorithm's selection of the top 20 results.
