Q. How can I find articles on my topic?

One option is to use the IUP Libraries' Discovery Search on the libraries' main webpage www.iup.edu/library.  In the Search Our Collections box, enter a few words that describe your topic and click search. 

On the search results page, use the limits on the right hand side of the page to narrow your search.  Under the Format heading, you can limit to articles.  If you are looking for articles found in peer-reviewed journals, click on the peer-reviewed journals limit under the Resource Type heading.

Another option is to use the Library Databases.  Library databases provide access to articles from popular magazines, newspaper, and scholarly journals.  From the main library webpage, click on the red Library Databases button.  This will give you a list of all the databases available to you. Select the database you want from the alphabetic list or use the Subject drop-down menu to choose a database by subject.
