OneSearch is a discovery search platform where you can find articles, books, book chapters, films, and other materials in print and digital format. The dashboard has several features to help you create folders (Projects) to organize your assignments, save materials to your folders and view your older searches.

Navigating OneSearch

1. Ensure you are signed into the system by clicking MyEBSCO and entering your credentials.

2. Since you will be writing an essay or a research paper, you can use the built-in feature Projects (listed in My Dashboard) to keep track of the sources you have found.

3. If there are many hits (results), click on All Filters to limit your search. You can limit your search by peer-reviewed, language, type of source (ebook, article, magazine), publisher, etc.

4. Click on Supplemental Sources at the bottom of the dashboard to extend your search to Google Scholar or access interlibrary loan when you need material we do not have.

When materials are unavailable in the Library Catalog, Prospector or MOBIUS, it is time to request the item through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). 

Placing requests

1. You must make an account first if you have never requested an item through ILL. Click on the tab Login to ILLIAD to start and enter your Identikey username and password. It is better to use the first and last name that is associated with your Identikey when signing up. since loans will be delivered to you under that name.
2. Fill in the form with as much information about the item you need.
3. If you need multiple chapters within the same book or articles from the same journal, click on Clone Request, select the transaction number you want to clone, make the appropriate edits, and click submit.
4. You can request books, DVDs, CDs, dissertations, microform and other materials from lenders around the world.
5. The cost of borrowing materials, including shipping, is paid for by the Library.
