Capuchino High School

Unless a college librarian is helping you search the Skyline College Library website, not all content on OneSearch is available to high school students at this time.

However, students can use the Open Access content provided by OneSearch. Here's a quick video I've created to show you how:

What's Open Access (OA)?

Open Access has become an important way to make research findings freely available for anyone to access and view. Open Access also means that as long as the original source is acknowledged and cited, students are allowed to redistribute, re-use and adapt the content in new works (in accordance with the Creative Commons license selected).
