Same Database, New Look: Omnifile Full-Text Select

Users of the Omnifile Full Text Select database may have noticed a change to the look of the database this month as the platform changed from Wilson to EBSCOhost.  While it may look different, the content is still the same and it is still a great resource for full-text articles on any topic.  Try it now, or ask a librarian if you have any questions about OCC Library resources.
