Omni Search - Transcript

Omni is a scholarly search tool that retrieves content from across the Library's collection and brings the results, such as books, articles, videos and more, into one place for you to review. It is a great tool for a quick search to see what the Library has to offer on a topic.

The Omni search box is found on the main page of the Library website:

The default search on the Library homepage is to search resources in the Ontario Tech collection. You can limit the search to look for just physical items, eResources or course reserves. You can also set it to search outside our Library's collection if your topic is very specialized or you have difficulty finding material in our collections.

Items not available in our Library's collection may be available through Interlibrary Loan - contact Library staff for more assistance.

For the purposes of this training module, we are going to focus on Omni's coverage of Ontario Tech resources.

Remember that if you are unsure or your question is very complex, don’t hesitate to ask the library staff or the subject librarian in your area for assistance.
