OneSearch Help

OneSearch Video Tutorials

It is important to know how to use OneSearch especially if you are searching for a specific book or item by title or author.

It is also a good starting point to finding journal articles - and preferable to Google since you will mind more credible sources. But if you want more targeted searching it is preferable to use a specialized engineering database. Consult the Engineering Research Guide.

You can use OneSearch for your ENGR101 project to find journal articles. Try the following strategies:

"chemical engineering" AND profession

"electrical engineering" AND development*
