Omni is our easy-to-use academic search tool that gives you access to high-quality resources from Queen's and 17 other Ontario university libraries. The resources in Omni span across all subjects and disciplines. 

Omni replaces our former search tools, QCAT Library Catalogue and Summon.

  • Find books, ebooks, articles, chapters, documents, videos, and more.
  • Discover and access collections at Queen's, all 18 Ontario partner institutions, and beyond.  
  • Request materials beyond Queen's as you discover them.
  • Narrow a search using filters or browse a virtual shelf.
  • Pin and tag materials in your favourites file for easy retrieval.  
  • Cite, email, and export to a citation tool to manage your information.  
  • Follow citation trails from references within an article, and those that cite it.
