OneSearch allows users to search for articles, books, and other materials from the Ort Library collection. Searches can be focused on specific material types like books or articles. Search results can be refined using filters like location. Full-text availability for articles is indicated by links, and Interlibrary Loan can request articles without full-text. The tutorial provides an overview of searching and accessing materials from OneSearch.
