Omni is the Queen’s Library academic search tool that enables you to search for books, journals, articles, videos and much more, all from one interface. Omni enables you to search different scopes of information collections: locally at Queen's and consortially with our 17 other Ontario university partner libraries (which is the default search scope in Omni).
Use the facets available within Omni to refine your search results to print books or electronic books, for example, or to book chapters.
Many individual electronic books are available within ebook collections. Most collections have individual book records in Omni, but you can also search the collections directly.
