In addition to using OneSearch for books, you can also use it to find articles, both scholarly and news. To access OneSearch, you can start by using the search box right on the library homepage.
Here you can do a simple search by entering your search terms. For example:
Hint: use the filters on the right hand side of the results page to limit by either peer reviewed article OR news article.
Once you've found an article you want, click on the title. This will open up a longer description of the article.
If the description looks good, click on the green Full Text Available link. This will bring you out of OneSearch and into the database where the full text is available. From there, you should be able to read and download the article. Don't forget to check out the related articles, which are suggested on the left side of this page.
