**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.
