Where to Start

Looking for a starting point for your research and not sure where to begin? It is highly recommended that you begin the research process with a search strategy. The boxes below will walk you through how to develop and use a search strategy and how to begin with OneSearch.

OneSearch is a great jumping off point for those who are just beginning their search and/or are looking for a broad or multi-disciplinary perspective. Otherwise, it is recommended that you use one of the Social Work databases listed in the databases tab. 

Search Strategy Overview

Do you dread having to work on a research project?  It really isn't that bad if you have a planned search strategy before you begin.  See the tutorial below to help get you started!

Using OneSearch Demonstration

Below is a video tutorial that will walk you through applying your search strategy to the library's general search platform, OneSearch. OneSearch is a good jumping off point for your research and it very good for a multi-disciplinary search. It will search across the entire library catalog and most of the library's databases for results related to your search.
