"OneSearch" was a name that we used to use for the Primo search tool. Some UH libraries still use the OneSearch name.
Primo is a system that finds information sources available from many of the library's online research databases. Primo also serves as the library's online catalog, which lets you find books, videos, and other materials in the library's collection. The results from a Primo search can include a mix of materials, such as books and e-books; articles from magazines, newspapers, and journals; and DVDs and streaming media. Results are initially sorted in relevance order, with the items most likely to be useful at the top of the list. You can change the order and filter the results. Primo links to articles, e-books, and videos in the databases where they are available.
Primo is a convenient alternative to searching the different databases one-by-one. However, you may have additional search options available to you when searching the individual databases directly.
Be aware that some of our databases are not compatible with the Primo system. Swank videos are not listed in Primo.
For more information, see the About Primo guide.
