Should I choose “Databases” or a OneSearch option on the library’s website?

OneSearch

• allows you to search across hundreds of library databases, simultaneously, through one interface
• is convenient
• can be an excellent starting point for your research/literature review
• does not search every library database (for example, Onesearch does not include data & statistics and company reports)
• and may list a lot of irrelevant items

So, if you choose a OneSearch option ...

• you may miss key articles and other sources if you only use OneSearch
• you may need to use a few filters to limit your search results to narrow down to more relevant items
• we still suggest connecting to individual, subject specific databases

Databases

• will show you the A-Z list or a Subject list of all the databases available for you to search
• allows you to perform a thorough and focused search in one specialized database
• allows you to use all of the advanced search features and functions within that databases

So, if you choose Databases, ...

• you will need to decide which database to search
• you will need to search several databases for your research/literature review
• you will need to be comfortable searching databases made by different companies and with different interfaces and functions; so, it may take some practice to become familiar with these differences
