To find articles on a particular topic start with EOU’s Primo.

Type a search term into the box and then select the Articles Only scope from the drop-down menu.

This will filter your results to just articles that the library has access to.

Use the options on the left side of the results list to refine your search.

Here you can limit to peer-reviewed articles or refine by type, subject, date, etc. Click on the article title to access the full text.

It is important to be note that Primo does not contain all of the library resources. EOU Library subscribes to many databases and not all database content will be available in Primo. Often it is best to go directly to a subject-specific database in order to find more focused results and to conduct more exhaustive research.
