We are working to upgrade the research experience by making ongoing improvements to our Research Guides.
You may encounter changes in the look and feel of the Research Guides website along with structural changes to our existing guides. If you have any questions or concerns about this process please let us know.

OneSearch User's Guide

Search Result Options

Hovering over the title of a resource will open up a screen on the right side of the page showing more information about the item, often including a summary or abstract of the item, along with citation resources, and a button allowing you to email this summary information only. 

Clicking on the "Read Online" button on the top right side of the screen will take you to the full text or a link to the full text of the resource. 

Creating RSS Feeds of Results

SearchWiSE allows you to create RSS feeds of your searches. After you have refined your search, you can create a "feed" which you can receive in your RSS feed reader* which will notify you of new items which fit those same search criteria.

To create a feed:

  • Click on the "Share" button at the top far right side of the screen (see yellow highlight).
  • Click on "RSS Feed" to see the RSS Feed URL (at the bottom of the screen) that has been created for that search.
  • You can modify the settings here for your alert.
  • Use the created RSS feed URL to 1) Send as a link to another person for their use or 2) Add to a webpage to show updated results of your search. 
  • To create an email alert so the RSS feed results are sent directly to your email account, sign in with your FAU.EDU email address. 

Contact your local FAU Reference Librarian for questions or assistance.

Saving Search Results in OneSearch

To save selected results after conducting a search in OneSearch:

Place the cursor next to the item to be saved. This will cause an icon that looks like a folder with a plus sign to appear in the upper right corner of the record.

Click on this icon to save the item.

A link to the Saved Items folder will appear at the top of the page to the right of the search box. 

Click on the Saved Items link to access the items selected to be saved.

The saved items may be e-mailed, printed or exported to a citation management program such as RefWorks or EndNote. A citation style such as APA or MLA may be selected.

Clear the saved items prior to beginning a new search on a different topic.
