Searching with Omni

Omni is the main search tool at TMU Libraries, and a great place to get started. It includes most of the libraries' books, ebooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, newspapers, streaming videos, and more!

In addition to Omni, you can search individual databases, which are focused collections of articles, streaming videos, reports, data, and more. Some databases have a specific subject, such as health sciences, world history or fashion. Other databases contain a specific type of source, such as streaming videos, newspaper articles, or eBooks. Most of the content of the databases is included in Omni, but there are some exceptions, so it can be helpful to look in a database when you either need a more focused collection or when you are not finding what you need in Omni.
