how do you search for electronic articles?
Answer
Hi Zac
If you login to the OU Portal with your OUID and Password and find the Myers Library Online page then look for the link for the Online Library Databases. Once you click on the link you will find a list of online databases. Depending on your topic, you would choose an appropriate database. Your best bet for full-text articles is Ebschost. If you go into the Ebschost suite, then choose the databases that you want by checking the boxes next to them and then when you have chosen them, go to the continue button. You should then have a searchbox. Look below the searchbox for boxes to checkmark for full-text and peer-reviewed articles and then you can put your search terms in. You should be able to find full-text articles in almost any topic you search for.
