OneSearch is exactly what its name implies: one place to search for many different kinds of sources -- including books, eBooks, scholarly articles, news articles, videos, and more!

Parentheses ( ):

Use around keywords with OR to expand your search. This helps you find results with any of the listed terms.

• Example: free speech (campus OR university OR college)

This searches for combinations like free speech campus, free speech university, and free speech college—all in one search.

Quotation Marks " ":

Use around phrases for an exact phrase search. This narrows your results to sources with the words in that exact order.

• Example: "social media"

Asterisk *:

Use as a wildcard to search for all endings of a word root. This expands your results.

• Example: child*

This finds terms like child, children, childhood, etc.

Search Tips:

• 2-5 keywords often works well
• Take advantage of the filters inside of OneSearch
• Try different keywords - think synonyms!
  • Example: children, youth, minors, juveniles, etc.
