Banner Health FAQs

All About

OneSearch (OVID Discovery) facilitates greater visibility and discoverability of the biomedical literature and is described on the publisher site as "A single-search portal to more than 100 million biomedical, health, and pharmaceutical resources" and "streamlined access to a time-saving one-stop shop of all available bibliographic records, full text, books, journals, and multimedia from publishers, information providers, and aggregators—not just those to which your institutions subscribes." Library users and health sciences personnel across multiple specialities and disciplines will benefit from adding OneSearch to their search toolbox!
