OneSearch

OneSearch Library Catalog

One-Stop Searching of Library Resources

Books, Ebooks, Articles, Videos, and the list goes on 

Searching in OneSearch

If there are no results matching your search...

  • Make sure that all words are spelled correctly.
  • Try a different search option (e-books instead of books in the library collection, for example)
  • Try different keywords.
  • Try more general keywords.
  • Try fewer keywords 

If there are too few results matching your search...

  • Use wildcards to expand your search:
    • Asterisk (*will match zero or more characters within a word or at the end of a word
      • educa*will find education, educating, educator

      • psycholog* will find psychology, psychological

    • Question mark (?) will match any one character. 

      • gr?y will find gray or grey

      • m?n will find man and men

  • To search for a phrase, type quotation marks around the phrase. You can combine both words and phrases in your search.

  • For more help with basic searches, click here to access the ExLibris knowledge center

If you get thousands of results...

  • Use more specific keywords: "Mendocino County history" rather than "Mendocino County"
  • Slide the "personalize" button above the first result of your search to limit your search to your preferred disciplines (history, psychology, sociology, for example).
  • Refine Your Results in the left column
    • "Sort By" lets you select listing your results by relevance, date (oldest or newest), title and author
    • Choose "subject" to further refine your search 
    • "Availability" can limit your search to a resource type such as peer-reviewed journals
    • "Creation Date" lets you limit your search to a creation-date range (2014-2019), for example.

What does OneSearch include?

Use OneSearch to find print and online books, articles, and other types of sources. Limit your results to the types of sources you want by choosing the appropriate items from the following filtering options. (Click the magnifying glass icon to the right of the search box to see the filtering options).

Articles, Books and More 

  • Searches physical items in the Mendocino College libraries, electronic resources provided by the library, and open access digital resources

Course Reserves 

  • Searches course textbooks on reserve.  
  • Type in your course name, number, or instructor's name to see if we have the textbooks available for in-library study
  • We are currently updating and correcting our course reserve data. Please be patient. 

Books and Videos on Library Shelves

  • Searches for physical items in the Ukiah and Fort Bragg college libraries.

Articles and E-books

  • Searches Mendocino Colleges databases.
  • Not all databases are included in the OneSearch results: some subject-specific databases or journals may not be searchable via OneSearch. 
  • For example, SIRS Issues Researcher is not yet searchable. Search the library's databases individually to conduct a more comprehensive search.
