Tips on Searching for Sources Using OneSearch (SCC Library Website)
- Based on your keywords, OneSearch will scan all of the Los Rios Libraries' resources, including books, ebooks, and articles from all of our individual databases.

- Use "quotation marks" to keep your keywords side-by-side as an exact phrase, for example, "career choices"
