Finding Articles From the Library Search
If you're looking only for articles--including scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles--use the dropdown menu beside the main search box to select "Articles."
Enter a few important subject-related keywords in the search box and hit the "Search" button.
Use Operators and Key Words
Key words are concrete specific words that tell the library search what you need. Unlike searching on Google, you can't type a full sentence. Select just the important words.
Connect those words with operators.
