Library Resources

Fulton Library provides more than just books (though we do have a lot of great books!). We also provide access to databases, which will allow you to access peer-reviewed journals, news articles, streaming media, and more. Our main database is called OneSearch, and it's a great place to start your research. Use the search strings you learned about on the Developing Search Terms page to search OneSearch and other library databases.

OneSearch & ProQuest

Search tabs from Library homepage. Left: OneSearch. Right: ProQuestOneSearch and ProQuest are the Fulton Library's main databases. They allow you to search the library's articles, books, streaming media, and more. OneSearch and ProQuest include resources on almost every topic, making it a great place to start your research!

To use either of these databases, go to the UVU Fulton Library Homepage link below. Use the tabs in the search box to navigate between OneSearch and ProQuest. Enter search terms into the box, then hit enter or click the magnifying glass. 

We recommend using both databases because, while there is some overlap between the two, each database features a lot of unique content.

Limiting Your Search

Because OneSearch and ProQuest search through so many different databases and collections, it's easy to get too many results. Try the following:

  • Scholarly (Peer Review) Journals: checking this box will limit your search only to articles that have been through the peer-review process
  • Publication Date: use the slider or enter a range of publication dates
  • Subject: these are the subjects that have been applied to your search results. This can help you with expanding your list of search terms! Click "show more" to see all subjects
