Start Your Research Paper Here
I am not sure where to search
There are lots of different places to search for research on the Library homepage. In most cases, we recommend that you start with OneSearch.
OneSearch (searches many databases at once)
Subject Specific Databases
OneSearch
What is it?
OneSearch lets you search many different collections of library resources at once, including our catalogue of physical books, our ebooks, and many of our databases full of articles.
- A good place
- Searches a bigger range of resources
- Not all the books/articles/etc that you find in OneSearch are immediately available through the library. Some may need to be interlibrary loaned.
- Many search and filter options available.
Where do I find it?
The link for OneSearch can be found on the Library homepage under the ‘All’ search box.
Subject Specific Databases
What are they?
- Databases that deal with a specific subject area
- Most are also included when you do a search in OneSearch
- If you have already tried OneSearch but are getting too many results from other subject areas, ask a librarian if they would recommend using a subject specific database.
Where do I find them?
The Search (magnifying glass icon) at the top of the Library homepage will show you a list of the most popular subject databases as well links to lists of databases divided up by subject area.
