Title: Adding Filters to Search Results
Course: Library - Library Sandbox > Section: Ontario Tech Library Online: Searching Omni for Books, Articles & More

Filters are a good way to find the most relevant and valuable resources within large results. You can use filters to limit your results by:

- Format: Online or print
- Peer-reviewed sources
- Resource Type: Articles, books and more
- Publication date
- Subject

Using Filters

When you enter a keyword search in the Omni Search box, you will have the option to apply filters.

On the left-hand menu, under “Tweak your results,” you will see a variety of filters you can apply to your search results to reduce the number of results and increase their relevance to your research question or topic.

Try it: Filter Your Search Results

Follow this link to an Omni search for "online learning" AND post-secondary.

Use the filters on the left side and watch what happens to the number of results!
