Finding Articles

Citation databases allow you to see for each article the items it cited and also the items that have cited it.  If you find a great article, use these databases to move both back and forward in time from that article.

Find Books

Libraries Search can be used to find books (both print books, ebooks, and some audiobooks).

To focus in on books, you can limit to books prior to searching by choosing it under Resource Type.

Advanced Search, with book selected from Resource Type.

After a search, you can refine to books (under resource type) and specify you want content available online (e.g., ebooks).

 

Refine to books (under resource type) and available online (if you want ebooks)

You will see print books available across OSU and OhioLINK locations. You can refine to specify a specific library location for a print book, if desired.
