Understanding OneSearch – What Are the Different Search Options Available for Our Users?

Posted on by

The new OneSearch launching at the end of January (or sooner) will feature five search options (also called scopes).

The first option in the menu below is the default search option which will search all resources owned or subscribed to by the MSK Library including articles, books, databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science etc.) and vetted free open access resources.

Why would you use this option?

  • This single search option allows you to search across all of MSK Library’s resources, including journal articles, books, databases, newspaper articles, conference proceedings, dissertations, multimedia and more.
  • You can quickly narrow down search results by content type, discipline, publication date, language, author, or title.
  • You can also expand the results to include resources that are not immediately available from the Library but may be obtained through our Document Delivery services.

In addition, Dr. Heerdt shared that breast cancer signs are the same for both genders. Common warning signs include: unusual mass, nipple discharge, and changes in the skin.
