Should I use OneSearch or a subject database?
I'm not sure where to find the best sources for my research.
Answer
Selecting where you search can depend on the type of material you are search for, and how advanced your research need is.
When you are just starting your research, use OneSearch to find books, ebooks, articles, and media related to your topic.
If you are doing research for a course in your major and need to find specific information like data, statistics, articles with specific methodologies, or specialized reports, you will be more successful searching in a subject database. To learn how to find a library database specific to your research needs, watch Choosing a Database, visit the library's A-Z database list, or ask a librarian.
