Searching in OneSearch: Search Basics

Searching is as easy as Search - Refine - Get...

• Search:  enter your search terms

• Refine:  use the filters and facets on the left side of your search results.  For example, maybe you only want to view scholarly material

• Get:  click on an item to access it

Refining your search to get the best material for your research can also be done by adding more keywords to your search. 

Just like searching the open web, you can indicate a phrase by putting quotation marks around the words.  The query "water desalination" will find results with that phrase.
