Using the Keyword Search

The Keyword Search allows you to find full or partial matches based on the entered word or phrase. You can type in your word or phrase (preferrably one word or an abbreviation like psych for psychology) in either lower case or upper case letters. If you use a phrase, spell out the entire words rather than using abbreviations. You can use the Keyword Search in combination with any of the other search categories. For example, if you want to know which classes a favorite instructor will be teaching summer term, select "summer + year", leave others at "Select all" and type in the name of the instructor. Your search covers the following: course title, course number, course description, instructor name.

Hint: For maximum results, keep the search word short, possibly even a partial word.

Examples:
Search: psy
You will find:
  • Title: ED PSYCH, LEARNING & DEVELOPM (ED 411)
  • Title: Fire Related Human Behavior (FSA327)
    Course Description: Dynamics of human behavior in fire incidents related to fire prevention practices, programs, codes and ordinances. Understanding of the concepts of role, personal invulnerability, risk and group dynamics, as related to design aspects of building and the mitigation of the effects of fire in the modern society. The psychological effects of communications during emergencies and the conduct of post-fire interviews.
  • Title: HUMAN ADJUSTMENT
    Course Number: PSY 380

Search: west
You will find:
  • Title: HISTORY OF WESTERN PHILOSOPHY
  • Title: WEIGHT MANAGEMT BEG
    Instructor: WEST S

Caution: Two-letter partial searches will probably yield more than you want. For example, if you search: ag, you will find management and language, as well as agriculture.

IMPORTANT: OregonONE strives to keep information on our website and in the database up-to-date. Since courses and degrees are offered by institutions and not by ONE, however, the institution is the ultimate source of current and correct information. Use the ONE database for your initial search, but be sure to verify accuracy with the institution.
