OneSearch searches all resources that are accessible through Otterbein Library and OhioLink. This is useful if you are seeking to get a broad range of information about a certain topic.
Books: Books found via OneSearch may be physically located in the Otterbein Library main collection, or they may be books from other libraries that you can request via ILL (Interlibrary Loan) or through OhioLINK. (See the OhioLINK tab for more information on how to request books located off-campus.)
eBooks: OneSearch will also show links to eBooks available through Otterbein Library. These are generally PDF or HTML files that you can access by clicking a link like "Online Access," "Connect to Resource Online," or "Connect to [title]." eBooks links are identified by the eBook icon: ![](//s3.amazonaws.com/libapps/accounts/84677/images/Screenshot_2016-02-28_at_11.15.26_AM.png)
Articles: Articles from periodicals are also included in OneSearch results. These articles may be from academic journals, trade publications, or popular magazines. Articles in academic journals will often (but not always) be peer reviewed, meaning they have been approved by professionals in the field before publication; take note of whether or not an article has been peer reviewed as you perform research.
