Omni, available via the library home page, is the new search tool shared by 18 Ontario university libraries. With a single search you can find a variety of resources held at York University Libraries and the other Omni partner libraries.
To find books or e-books follow these steps:
Step 1: Apply the Relevant Search Scope
Omni can be used to search for books or e-books in three different domains, equivalent to search scopes:
In general we advise that you choose the first option. If you cannot find what you need this way, choosing the second option will find more books and e-books, which may be available using inter-library loan options linked from system records.
Step 2: Conduct your search
Results are automatically sorted by relevance including:
If you sort by the newest date, you lose the relevance ranking.
Step 3: Avail of the Search Filters and limit to Books & E-Books under Resource Type
These search filters appear once results load along the left-side of the screen
Use our Omni Guide to learn more about effective search strategies in Omni. Key terms to know are Search Scope, Facet, Boolean, Truncation, Wildcards, and Limits.
