Browsing with One Search

Use One Search to search in ALL library databases at once, or to find books in our collection. 

• Build your search slowly with multiple search terms. 
• When relevant, use quotation marks to keep words together, as a phrase. Example: "affordable housing"
• Use * to truncate and search for multiple forms of a word.
• Use OR for synonyms/ alternate search terms.
• Use AND to narrow and focus.

Note: Go to individual databases for magazines, more subject terms, up-to-date streaming video content, and more.
