Finding Articles in Library OneSearch

Library OneSearch allows users to search for both journals and articles published in journals (both peer-reviewed and otherwise). To search for articles on a specific topic, enter your keywords in the search box and click "search."

Your search results will be listed below your keyword search. Any and all sources that are related to these terms will be displayed in the listing. To filter your results to a specific source type, use the filtering system at the top of the results page. For example, clicking the Peer Reviewed button (red box) will limit your results to only items that are considered peer-reviewed.

Once the filter is applied to your results list, you should see only items that have been peer-reviewed showing up in your search results, as indicated by the notation included in the item record (blue boxes).

Clicking on a search result (either the title or the text that reads Access Options) will open a new page that will display the item's catalog record in full, and offer options to access / request it online.
