Proxy for using OneSearch

Once you have found keywords and the most appropriate information sources, you can launch a query on OneSearch.

Subsequently, as we will see, you will be able to deepen and extend the search using other databases, external to OneSearch.

Before accessing OneSearch you need to:

  • set the Proxy in your browser, if you are working off the University premises: in this way you can access all the services via an external Internet connection, simulating being within the University network
  • authenticate in OneSearch
