Omni is Queen’s University Library's 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 beyond Queen's University Library with our 15 Ontario university partner libraries (which is the default search scope in Omni).
