Archived: What is OneSearch?

Posted in Guides, research, and video

OneSearch is the Oviatt library’s searching tool to locate book, ebooks, articles, videos and more provided by the Library. OneSearch has been adopted by all 23 CSU libraries giving the CSU system a shared platform to collaborate and share resources.

What am I searching with OneSearch? 

By default, with OneSearch you are searching the following Oviatt Library collections together:

  • Articles – A interdisciplinary collection of millions of articles from numerous databases and providers.
  • Books and Media (CSUN) – Books, ebooks, DVDs, music, streaming media and more available through the Oviatt library. This also includes material located in the Teachers Curriculum Center, Music & Media and Special Collections & Archives.

Additionally the following collections are not included in the default search, but can be selected by the user:

  • Course Reserves – Course materials placed in the library by professors and available for short term checkout.
  • All CSU Libraries (CSU+) – Includes the books and media collections of all 23 campus libraries together.
