The search box on the library homepage is Omni, our library search tool. It's a one-stop access point to Western & Affiliated University College Libraries collections including print books, e-books, articles, and more. You will also be able to discover and access print collections from other universities across Ontario.

This is a great place to search for books and articles on a topic. It is also where you go to request a book or the digitization of an article or portion of a book.
