One Search

Try One Search: http://search3.webfeat.org/clients/allenco/wf3_allenco.html

Q: Why is it called One Search?
A: Patrons helped us choose a name which describes what One Search can do - search a lot of resources all in one place! One Search - great results. There is so much information that is not available for free on the internet - One Search searches beyond Google!

Q: Will users able to access One Search from home?
A: When linking to One Search, it determines (by your IP address)
whether you are on a library computer or not. If you are outside the library's
network, you may enter your library card number to start searching

Q: With the library's "e-resources", and patrons could only access some services if they used the library's dial-up system.
A: Once you enter your library card to show you are a legitimate user, you can use One Search to search almost all of our resources from home. There are only eight databases which can only be used in one of our libraries (Ancestry.com, D&B Million Dollar Business Database, Heritage Quest, Morningstar, New England Ancestors, NewsBank, RDS Business Suite, and World Geography), the rest can be searched by ACPL card holders from home.
