Searching for Articles with OneSearch
From the Library homepage, type into OneSearch box.
Start with keywords from your research topic or question. The default search looks at everything in the library including scholarly articles, books and e-books, newspapers, and more. However, since you will be searching for scholarly journal articles, you can first select the "articles" tab.
You can narrow the list of results on the left side of the screen, where it says "Refine my results." Scroll down and try one of the following:
- Limit by Peer-reviewed Articles if you are interested in journal articles that undergo the scholarly editorial process (Check out LMU's What is Peer Review video to learn about the peer review process)
- Limit by Date if you are interested in sources published in a certain time period
