Use Holman Library One Search if...

• you want a general survey of what's available through the Library on your topic     
• you just need enough information to get started on your research project
• you need a wide variety of source types
• you are short on time
• you want to see good sources the library does not have immediate access to, but that you can still get through interlibrary loan
• you want to find textbooks on course reserve

Instead of One Search, use individual library databases if...

• you want a very thorough examination of your topic - individual databases will yield more thorough results
• you are looking for reference or encyclopedia articles (you can fine-tune searches better with Gale Virtual Reference Library)
• you need newspaper articles, especially (there is better coverage through ProQuest or Academic Search Complete)
• you need to do a specific search using more powerful database limiters, such as finding primary sources, biographies, trade journals, graphs, and searching by subject headings

Option 1:
Bring items in person to the Circulation Desk on the library first floor

Renew through your Library Account.
(Note that technology equipment such as laptops, wifi hotspots, headsets, cameras..etc. cannot be renewed online through your library accounts.  Instead contact the Circulation Services for options.)

Renewals are permitted if:

• No one else has requested the item
• The renewal limit has not been reached

Overdue items may be renewed, but overdue fines will be charged.

Interlibrary Loan Renewals

You can usually renew items. Renewals, if approved, generally extend the borrowing period about two more weeks. Contact the Holman Library Circulation Desk to request a renewal at least two days prior to your due date.

The lending library may refuse a request for renewal. You will be informed of the lending library's decision. If the request has been denied, the material is due back on the original due date.
