OneSearch provides a simple way to search for books, eBooks, videos, articles, digital media, and more, all in one place. In the search box above, you will see a drop-down list of options for filtering your search. To find articles, you have several options:

Tredway resources (Library holdings + Articles): This is the default option which searches all of the library's physical and electronic resources (books, eBooks, videos, journal/magazine articles, and electronic references sources). This search also includes items in Special Collections and the Swenson Center.
Everything (Library holdings + Articles + I-Share): This option searches across everything, including articles from our databases, as well as books available to us through the I-Share service.
Articles only: This option searches for journal articles, magazine articles, newspapers articles, and electronic reference material across our databases.

Adding Database Filters

In many databases, you will have a number of options to filter your results. When possible, I recommend filtering for full text (to make sure you get the full article rather than just a citation), peer-reviewed (when you need scholarly sources, this filter saves you a lot of time), and by date (to make sure you are getting the most up-to-date research). The following screenshot shows what these filters might look like in Academic Search Complete or other Ebsco databases, though you will see similar filters in most databases regardless of the interface, don't be afraid to explore:
