**Tip: if you need scholarly or peer-reviewed articles, also click the box next to the Peer-reviewed Journals filter under Availability.

5.  Once you have selected the Articles filter, click the Apply Filters button. Your search results will reload and display only articles (or peer-reviewed articles if that filter was selected). Click the Available Online link beneath any article to read it.         


Tip: Learn how to keep (or set) filters so they remain in place for the duration of your search session.
 

Do you prefer to search an individual database? Such as EBSCO, ProQuest or Nexis Uni? Learn how to find a specific database. If you don't know which database to choose, try the database suggestions on your program's research strategies guide or a relevant subject page
