Avention is now OneSource - with a New Interface

Avention, the company information database, has changed its name back to OneSource. You may remember the last time it changed. The database name has been in effect for a few weeks. The new interface will launch on March 11.

This interface is dashboard based and gives you quick access to the most common types of searches available in OneSource. These new search forms provide access to all of the variables available for each type of search on the screen. No more hidden filters, you set your options and then search.

OneSource can be found on the A-Z Database page and is available to all UM users and Ross Alumni.
