OneSearch Library Catalog Tutorial

This Fall 2022 Semester, the library is offering a new online OneSearch Library Catalog Tutorial.  The tutorial is available in our library catalog, in many of our library research guides, and on our library website.

Upon completion of the OneSearch Library Catalog Tutorial, library patrons should be able to:

1. Find the OneSearch online library catalog.

2. Search for and locate books and e-books, videos, articles, digital media, and more in the library's collection.

3. Request items from other LACCD libraries.

At the end of the tutorial, there is a short online quiz, which provides users feedback.

ProQuest is one of our most popular databases. It covers a wide range of disciplines with content from academic journals, magazines, newspapers and more. This would be a great place to search for current events information.

Below are two other databases that are great resources for finding biographical and historical information, articles, reviews, etc.

Below are some tips and reminders when you are searching in our databases:

• Use quotations around your search terms to search for your exact phrase(s).
• Use AND, OR, or NOT to connect your search terms.
• Narrow by date range and content type (scholarly articles, newspaper articles, magazine articles, reports, etc.)
• Use truncation to find variations of words. For example, “alcohol*” will search for and locate “alcohol”, “alcoholics”, and “alcoholism”.
