On the library homepage is a search box. This box, called ScholarOne Search is a discovery tool that will find resources available in our library collections. It can include videos, books and journal articles. Rather than using a specific database it searches by across a variety of resources. If doing extensive research on a specific topic, you may want to go directly to a structured database.
