Most of the Library's databases let you search for peer-reviewed articles.  The databases are published by different companies (EBSCO, Ovid, ProQuest, etc.). Each publisher has its own way to search.  

How to use this guide:

  • Look in the alphabetical lists to the right for the database you want (if you don't know which database to use, we recommend starting with Academic Search Complete or ProQuest Central)
  • Look under the database name to see who publishes it (EBSCO, Ovid, etc.)
  • Click the appropriate yelllow tab at the top for instructions
