The library OneSearch box found on the SC4 Library homepage will help you find a wide variety of library resources. It searches almost all of the 200+ library databases at once. You can use it to find peer reviewed journal articles, magazine and newspaper articles, streaming videos, ebooks, print books, audio recordings ...
Please watch the video below demonstrating how to find peer reviewed articles using OneSearch or read the written directions under the video.
It is easy to limit your OneSearch results to peer-reviewed materials. Remember that peer-reviewed materials are reviewed by experts in the field and approved for publication. They are excellent sources of information. The screenshots below show how to find scholarly articles on food insecurity for college students.
I used the search string ("food insecurity" OR hunger) AND "college students" in the OneSearch box.
The image below shows the result list after narrowing the results to peer-reviewed materials using the limiters in the left-hand column.
The third title in the list of results looks like it might be right the topic.
The abstract of the article and the full text in html format are given when you click on the title. It will also show you the elements of the citation.
In the ProQuest databases, click on Cite in the upper left-hand corner to gather the citation information. In some of the databases, you will need to change the APA citation to MLA format.
Double-check the citation to verify the citation. Copy and paste the citation and add the necessary elements to your Works Cited page.
