OSU Libraries

By checking a couple of boxes on a search form, you can improve your odds of finding the sources  that will work for an assignment requiring "peer-reviewed" or "scholarly" articles.

This trick won't guarantee that you find scholarly articles, but it will improve your odds by filtering out a lot of sources that are clearly not scholarly.

From the library homepage, choose Databases from the Quicklinks list.

 

One big plus side to saving your work online is that it is really easy to share that work with other people - which comes in really handy when you have groupwork to do.

Here's how to create a folder that you can easily share with a study group or project group using your My EBSCOhost account.

So the other day I was working on a research question, and I was trying to find an article that I know is out there - I know I saw it while I was working on this project.  And I tried and tried to remember the search terms that I used that other time so that I could find it again.

 

Most article databases let you create lists or folders of articles to save, print out, or email to yourself - basically, to keep yourself organized.

Here's how to do this in EBSCOhost databases.
