Introducing Omni: OCAD U's new academic search tool
OCAD University Library is excited to offer Omni, a new easy-to-use academic search tool that gives you access to high-quality resources.
Launched in May, Omni provides direct access to OCAD University's local collections and streamlined access to a vast collection of diverse, high-quality academic research resources across the collections of 17 other Ontario participating university libraries.
"We're excited for this new upgrade that will support our faculty and students in their research and enhance access to library materials and collections," says Tony White, OCAD University Librarian.
Omni offers these benefits:
- Powerful search tool for discovery and in-depth research of OCAD University's Library holdings
- Quick and streamlined access to resources
- Improved functionality for you to manage current loans and requests
- Intuitive mobile-friendly user experience
The streamlined interface facilitates resource discovery across a broad range of genres and formats: books, book chapters, journals, scholarly and popular articles, film, music, etc.
