SVC Library: Marine Maintenance Technology Guide: Search the SVC Library Catalog (OneSearch)

What is this page for?

OneSearch is what we call our library catalog.
It will show you almost EVERYTHING that the library owns on a topic or subject area. It's like a Google Search for the SVC library.
That means you might see results for books, eBooks, academic or research articles, newspaper articles, streaming videos, reports, reference entries, etc. all mixed together.

1. To start, enter your terms (also called keywords) into the search box - use only the most basic words, leave off "The", "A", "An", etc.

2. If you want your results to be more specific, once you've done a search, use the filters along the left side of the page to narrow down further.

Example: Narrow down by type of sources (newspaper articles only, books only, etc.)
- Note: The little number next to the source type tells you how many results there are
Example: Narrow down by specific dates (2016, 2000-2022)
Example: Narrow down by things that are "available in the library"

3. To find out more about the article or book, etc., enter the record by clicking on it.

4. To access the item

If it has a physical location, check which library and copy the location number (where it says available at...) and ask for help finding it.

If it has a digital/online location, click on the options listed in the white box, where it says "VIEW ONLINE" in the middle of the page. (You may need to login with your MYSVC username and password in order to see the full text article.)
