Omni is a great place to start your research. Use Omni if you want to:

• Explore research topics
• Find an exact book or article
• Browse journal titles
• Find specific formats (e.g. newspapers, ebooks)
• Discover U of G’s local resources

Omni has a lot of our stuff, but not all of it. If you’re looking for more subject-specific information or a specific database, consider browsing our databases. 

If you need to search within articles and abstracts, a subject-specific database may be a better option.

Consult these pages for more information on:

• Finding, requesting, renewing and returning items
• Borrowing privileges for various U of G user groups

You have two options for your search:

• U of G Library + Omni Libraries: Search all U of G content plus the print materials at Omni partner libraries.
• U of G Library: Search U of G content only.

To limit your search to only U of G content:

1. Use the dropdown menu in Omni, located beside the search box
2. Select U of G Library
