About OT SEARCH
OT SEARCH, a bibliographic database covering the literature of occupational therapy and related subject areas. The full text of the indexed resources is not in this database, only the bibliographic information to identify the material and an author's abstract, when one exists. Links to sources for full-text copies are added to records in OT SEARCH when they are available. Currently, OT SEARCH contains over 46,200 records of materials dating from 1910 to the present.
The Wilma L. West Library (WLWL) owns a copy of all the material indexed in OT SEARCH. While searchers will find material from related or supporting disciplines, such as rehabilitation, education, psychiatry or psychology, and health care delivery or administration in this database, the primary purpose is to bring together the literature of occupational therapy. To this end, we are gradually expanding coverage of non-OT journals in OT SEARCH on a selective basis; that is, only articles written by occupational therapy practitioners or of decided interest to occupational therapists would be included.
