The library’s entire catalogue can be searched through the search bar on its front page. This search is through Omni, which means that both Leddy Library material, as well as material from 15 other Ontario Universities show up in the search. If what you’re searching for says “Not available locally, click for more options,” this means it’s a resource at another university and you can click "Get it from another library" to borrow it. If what you're searching for isn't available at all on Omni, request it through Racer, and the library can get it for you!
To get started here are some Search Tips for Omni.
- In general, you can type in the keywords i.e. youth criminal justice (the AND is assumed), and hit search. This will search all of Omni (UWindsor plus 15 other universities), you can specify to just UWindsor using the drop-down menu to the right of the search.
- The filters will also help you to find exactly the material you’re looking for. For example, the above search resulted in over 200,000 results, which is far too many.
- Depending on the requirements of the research you can specify for peer-reviewed journals, time period, subject, language and more.
