Search for articles, books, databases and more
OneSearch is a great place to start your research. It's a one-stop search tool that helps you quickly find the title you want or relevant resources on a subject. Use OneSearch to search for books, scholarly journal articles, e-books, DVDs, images from our digital collections, and more.
When you view search results, OneSearch offers options to filter them in a variety of ways—by publication date, format (academic journals, books, news articles, etc.), subject, and others.
OneSearch has four options—each one searches different content and offers different filters.
When you start typing your search words, OneSearch autosuggests search options you can click.

Contains books (print and ebooks), journals, magazines, newspapers, DVDs, audiobooks, music scores, images, maps, TTU dissertations and theses, and archival collections.

Books, journals, videos, and other items owned by the Law Library.
Materials that instructors have selected to use in their classes—such as textbooks, supplemental readings (articles, book chapters), or films. They're either available online or kept "on reserve" at the Library with a shortened checkout time to give everyone in the class a chance to use them.
To take advantage of the richest features of a research database, including the subject thesaurus or specialized limiters, begin your search at a subject-specific database.
For example, Business Source Complete, PsycINFO, and Medline have powerful features only available in their unique interfaces.
Advanced researchers with more experience searching may prefer to search directly from the database's interface.
