OneSearch is a comprehensive search tool, or discovery layer, that facilitates access to almost all of AU library's resources using a single search box. As with any search tool, the key is to select the right resource for the job.
Did you know? It is possible to set search limiters before conducting your search. Use the check boxes directly below OneSearch and select all library collections, full text online, peer reviewed only, or AU Library catalog for your search.
When using OneSearch from off-campus, you will automatically be directed to AU Library's authentication page. Use your AU login (email, Blackboard) to authenticate. Need help? Visit AU Library's Connecting From Off-Campus.
A great starting point for research, OneSearch will locate books in the AU Library catalog, articles from EbscoHOST databases (such as Academic Search Complete), DVDs and Music CDs, IRC collection items, Government documents, and e-books.
Use these links for access to the following:
1. Library Catalog
If you are looking for items in the AU Library collection, including IRC resources, juvenile collection, DVDs, Music CDs and other resources, choose the library catalog for your search.
