OneSearch

OneSearch is a search tool that allows you to search the Library Catalog along with millions of scholarly e-resources all at the same time. The results from a search are ranked, so even though your results are usually numbered in the hundreds of thousands, the best matches are found in the first few pages.

 

Google Advanced Search

Narrow down web results for complex searches by using the Google Advanced Search page.

Enter your search terms, then choose one or more filters to change the results you see. These filters can help you find the most relevant information possible the first time you search.

For example, you can limit your search to Government Web Sites only, by adding .gov in the "site or domain" line: ethanol-free gasoline site:.gov
