Tutorials: how to find articles using the library databases

OneSearch

Gale PowerSearch allows you to search most of the library's resources simultaneously.  Because you are looking through a huge number of resources all at one time (literally millions of articles!), your search will probably have to be very specific in order to find usable articles.

Access OneSearch either:


This is where your background research comes in.  Unless your topic is very specific, you will most likely need to search using the mutiple terms, such as:

[Title of Movie] + [Director's name] --> The Farewell and Lulu Wang

[Topic] + [Time period, geographic location] --> Ethics  and Ancient Greece


Alternatively, you can use the limiters on the OneSearch search page to narrow your search.  Example: 

[Your Topic] + [use E-books as a limiter] --> Hermeneutics + [now choose "ebooks" from the Source Type menu]
