New Option in OneSearch to Search Across CUNY Catalog Records

We’ve made it a bit easier to replicate a “union catalog” search in OneSearch. When you are in the OneSearch interface and begin typing a query, a set of options appears below that let you change the scope of your search, including a new option for “All CUNY.”

Search scopes as you type

If you don’t select one of these scopes but just run the search (by clicking the magnifying glass button in the search box or hitting the “Enter” key), the search will be run in the “Baruch” search scope.

To understand the difference between the three search scopes, thisĀ  chart compares what can be found in each one:

Please note that the “All CUNY” search scope does not let you find e-resources that are uniquely held by other CUNY libraries but it does let you find what books (particularly print ones) that they may uniquely own.
