2. There is also a “Books and More” link under Quick Links.
3. If you are already engaged in OneSearch, you can choose Books, Audio, or Video from the Item Type dropdown box beneath the search box.
How do I limit my search in OneSearch to a particular format like films or sound recordings?
Go to Advanced Search, and use the Material Type pull-down.
How do I refine my search in OneSearch?
After completing a search, use the options on the left-side. You can refine by a number of options, such as Full Text Online, Available in Library, Author/Creator, Subject/Topic, Resource Type, and more.

Google Scholar Search Box
Just because they call it "Google Scholar" that's no guarantee that everything you find here is scholarly. Use publications on university websites with caution, as you would any resource based on unrestricted self-publication. Articles published in journals will usually be scholarly, but you can always check out the journal using the Journal Titles search on the library's home page.
