OneSearch is the catalog and search tool for the UAB Libraries collections. Use OneSearch to search for both print and e-books, journals, online journal articles, digital collections, technology equipment, and newspaper articles. OneSearch has been configured to provide recommendations about UAB Librarians and research guides as you search.
Signing in will allow you to:
Search millions of our resources, including print books, print and e-journals, articles, media, maps, and more, but does not search everything to which UAB Libraries provides access.
Search the actual holdings of UAB Libraries, including books, e-books, digital repository, and journals but does not search for individual articles, websites, etc.
Search articles from databases indexed by Primo. Search most, but not necessarily all, databases at once.
Search just those items placed on course reserve by the professor.
From the results page, you will have several options. You can refine your search results using Facets (or limiters) along the left side of the page. Currently the default results list allows you to see only items the UAB Libraries have access to in full. If you'd like to expand your search beyond these borders, click on Expand My Results at the top of the Facets. This will allow you to see articles, not books, that are not currently owned/accessible to UAB Libraries.
You may select one of the following facets: availability (full-text online/available in the library), library, resource type (ex: articles, books, dissertations, etc.), author/creator, subject, date, journal title, and language.
From the actual record of the item, you will see ways to SEND TO, LOCATE IT, VIEW IT, or GET IT.
SEND TO: gives options for exporting, citing, permanent linking, printing, and/or emailing the record.
LOCATE IT: for items in print, this shows the location and call number of the item.
VIEW IT: this appears for electronic items, giving you the link to the item.
GET IT: this option will appear if you have located material available for Interlibrary Loan.
