What is 1Search?
1Search is a research tool that sits on top of Van Wylen Library’s resources, providing a single search box experience for a large amount of library content. 1Search allows users to search print and electronic books, many full-text article databases, Digital Commons, ContentDM, as well as other open access repositories, like HathiTrust.
Why use 1Search?
- It’s a great starting point that searches all types of library content
- Links directly to the library’s online full-text resources
- Easy to refine your search by format, discipline and date
- Suggests other subject specific tools for continuing your research
Keep in Mind…
- 1Search searches much, but not all of the library’s content
- For more exhaustive research, searching should still be done in subject specific databases and HopeCat
Let us know!
- We continue to work to make 1Search as productive a research experience as possible. Running into problems? Please let us know through the Feedback form you find in 1Search
- Better yet, if there is a librarian online, you can “Chat with Us” directly within 1Search. Hopefully we can talk you through the problem right away
