Brandeis Library OneSearch

The Library Catalog tab is the principal means for locating books, journals, and videos in the library's collections. OneSearch can be useful for this purpose at two levels of your research. If you have already identified the book(s) you need through other research aids, search OneSearch Library Catalog by Title or by Author to locate the item(s) in the library. If you are trying to identify books that will be useful for your research, search OneSearch Library Catalog by Keyword or Subject.

Note: There are some library databases that aren't searchable in OneSearch. Users can still search these databases via our A-Z list. Not sure which database to use? Email me for suggestions!
