Omni - Library Discovery Search

Omni replaces Summon as our public-facing discovery layer for navigating physical and electronic resources from OCAD U Library and beyond! This guide will cover everything you need to know to get started and make the most of Omni.

What does Omni search? 

Use Omni to explore OCAD University Library's print collection, subscribed databases, and the Open Research institutional repository. You can use Omni to find books, book chapters, journals, scholarly articles, newspaper articles, reference entries, dissertations and theses, conference proceedings, maps, images, government documents, audio visual material, and more.

Omni can be used to search and request print holdings of 17 other university libraries across Ontario.
