Watch this video to learn how to navigate OneSearch to find materials available through the University Library.
Use the Advanced Search feature to help you find specific items by title or author name, material type or publication date range.
Don't lose track of relevant articles or books. Use Pin It feature in OneSearch -- make sure to log in with your CSUN user id and password (same as portal or Canvas). Items you pin will remain attached to your account and appear every time you log in.
Filtering search results
Once you have a list of results, you can refine them further by using the limiters under Refine My Results. Select the box on the left side to refine your search using that filter. OneSearch won't automatically keep the filters if you change your search. To keep filters locked, select 'Remember All Filters'.
Show Only:
Peer reviewed Journals: Looking for scholarly or academic articles? Use this limiter so your results only list peer reviewed journal articles.
Available Online at CSUN: Use this filter if you want all your results to only include material you can access online.
Available at CSUN: Use this filter if you want all your results to only include physical material available inside the library.
Resource Type:
